Colleagues:

These two 52 minute radio broadcasts will prove to be a great educational 
and organizing tool.  They will also occupy two hours in a class!
While Canadian-made, the interviewees include Michael Marmot and Leonard 
Syme. Send the link to your local health reporter!

They will be available FREE for download for only another three weeks.  Go

discovers that the reasons have little to do with our health care systems
