In Michigan, as in other parts of the country, there's a growing chasm between the "haves" and the "have nots." As unemployed workers struggle to make ends meet and suffer declining health as a result, the wealthiest Americans are enjoying the spoils of our "winner-take-all" society.
This clip is excerpted from "Not Just a Paycheck," Episode 7 of "UNNATURAL CAUSES: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?"

The series broadcast nationally on PBS in spring 2008, and can be bought on DVD from California Newsreel, www.newsreel.org
