I have many personal testimonies to this article. Poverty leads to many, many health related issues. If you don't have enough money you don't go to the doctor. If you don't go to the doctor you can get worse or continue in ill health. Without money you can't afford to buy medicine when you need it, so your health can decline even more. You don't get enough good food ... you don't exercise ... you can't afford to maintain good dental practices ... you can't afford to get your children proper medical care. You end up with hospital bills in the tens of thousands of dollars that you will never be able to pay.

How are health and poverty related? They are related in every way you can possibly imagine!
