摘要

One of the great mysteries of modern medicine: Why do rich people live longer than poor people? Why is it that, all around the world, those with more income, education and high-status jobs score higher on various measures of health? As stated in a World Health Organization pamphlet: "People further down the social ladder usually run at least twice the risk of serious illness and premature death of those near the top." The traditional answer to these questions has been that greater wealth and social status mean greater access to medical care. But even ten years ago, when this magazine last delved into the topic (FORBES, Jan. 31, 1994), the available answers seemed inadequate. If access was the Key, then one would have expected the health gap between upper and lower dasses to shrink or disappear with the advent of programs like Britain's National Health Service and America's Medicare and Medicaid, not to mention employer sponsored health insurance.
