Question

2．Higher income has already been linked to greater longevity and better health．A new study by a famous researcher suggests geographic location plays an key role in life expectancy（预期）for lower earners．That means if you're poor，you're likely to live for longer in a city like San Francisco or New York than in a city like Detroit or Cincinnati．
Being rich anywhere broadly means enjoying good health anywhere，but location is a key factor in health for people in lower income groups．Michael Stepner，one of the study's co-authors，said economic decline and decreasing populations in the Rust Belt aren't necessarily to blame．
The study found that location matters for low earners．Low-income individuals tend to live more healthily and for longer in cities with college-educated populations，high incomes，more immigrants，and high levels of government expenses，such as New York and San Francisco．The study also found measures of health-insurance coverage and health spending were of lesser importance than social and economic factors in determining health for low-income individuals．Nor did having health insurance seem to be a factor in increasing life expectancy for poorer groups．"The key driver of differences in inequality across areas of life expectancy is probably not access to health care，"Mr Stepner said．
