Third Seminar-Specific Health Care Disparities

Beginning today through next saturday, June 26, we are open to commentaries and observations on any specific health care disparities. I know already that some of the listed invited commentators may not be able to comment this week and as noted last week, we welcome comments whenever the time to make yours presents itself. If it does not fit perfectly in this week's subject, simply suggest the particular seminar you wish to attach it and we'll take care of placing comments appropriately at the end of the ten weeks. PLEASE GO TO SEMINAR THREE FOUND UNDER PLANNED SEGEMENTS FOR THE BRIEF STAGE SET FOR THIS WEEK.
I am aware that policy thinking and assessment tools make it possible to look at data from urban vs rural polulations, but since we have access to the District of Columbia and LA data, whether city to city variation has been noted and re rural regions whether region to region variation is sufficient to advocate more strongly than we have heretofore, the importance of reinforcing local initiatives to target the most important disparities.
