There’s a lot of news and information about the cost of health care. But, what about the cost of health?

A PBS series “UNNATURAL CAUSES …is inequality making us sick?” seems cut the care part out of the conversation to look at factors like income, employment status, race and zip code to find out what contributes to your health — bad and good.

The first segment: “In Sickness and in Wealth” will air on Channel 13 this Saturday at 2 p.m. Check www.pbs.org/unnaturalcauses to find out more about it and when the other segments are showing.

The producers of the series spoke today at the health journalism conference along with Dr. A Hal Strelnick, director of the Institute for Community & Collaborative Health at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.

What they all revealed is that your health is determined by much more than your genes and your environment. It goes deeper than whether you see a doctor or not. Much of it has to do with education and employment. A large part of it has to do with stress from that employment or unemployment as the case may be for many.

They found that even rich, well-educated people tend to die younger if they live in places strained by inequality and social disconnection.

In these uncertain economic times, surely this topic will not go away too soon.
