[Pophealth] minutes of Sept 19 meeting

[Judith Yarrow]

Hi, sometimes I see comments in various newspaper articles, blogs, or 
letters to the editor, and I'd like to respond to them with a brief 
cogent statement of the link between economic justice and health and 
point them to the PHF web site, but I don't feel sufficiently articulate 
to respond. Do you have, or could you develop, a short succinct 
statement that I could use as a base for a reply to things, such as for 
example, the recent report on the differences in life span among the 
different states?
