520    What are the connections between healthy bodies, healthy 
       bank accounts and skin colour? Our opening episode travels
       to Louisville, Kentucky, not to explore whether medical 
       care cures us but to see why we get sick in the first 
       place, and why patterns of health and illness reflect 
       underlying patterns of class and racial inequities. The 
       lives of a CEO, a lab supervisor, a janitor, and an 
       unemployed mother illustrate how class shapes 
       opportunities for good health. Those on the top have the 
       most access to power, resources and opportunity and thus 
       the best health. Those on the bottom are faced with more 
       stressors unpaid bills, jobs that don't pay enough, unsafe
       living conditions, exposure to environmental hazards, lack
       of control over work and schedule, worries over children 
       and the fewest resources available to help them cope. The 
       net effect is a health-wealth gradient, in which every 
       descending rung of the socioeconomic ladder corresponds to
       worse health. And it's not just the poorest among us who 
       are suffering, but the middle classes too. Louisville 
       Metro Public Health Department data maps reveal 5- and 10-
       year gaps in life expectancy between the city's rich, 
       middle and working-class neighborhoods. We also see how 
       racial inequality imposes an additional burden on people 
       of colour. But how do racism and class get under the skin?
       Experiments with monkeys and humans shed light on chronic 
       stress as one culprit. Like gunning the engine of a car, 
       constant activation of the stress response wears down the 
       body's system, resulting in higher rates of disease and 
       early death. Compared to other countries, the U.S. has the
       greatest income inequality and the worst health. Today, 
       the top one percent of Americans owns more wealth than the
       bottom 90% combined. Economic inequality is greater than 
       at any time since the 1920s. One out of every 5 children 
       in the U.S. lives in poverty (21%) compared with 
       approximately 4% of Sweden. Social spending makes up most 
       of the difference: in Sweden, social spending reduces 
       child poverty by 70%, while in the U.S. it reduces child 
       poverty only 5%, down from 26%. Solutions being pursued in
       Louisville and elsewhere focus not on more pills but on 
       more equitable social policies. Louisville's new Center 
       for Health Equity is the first of its kind: a 
       collaboration between community members, local government,
       private business and health care organizations focusing on
       the social conditions that underlie our opportunities for 
       health and wellbeing.
