referendum

(referred to the voters by the legislature). While laws can be passed by the legislature or by voters, a state constitutional amendment can be approved only by public vote.

We live in an unequal society and one of the places this shows up is in life expectancy. Turns out that life expectancy is a good marker for a lot of other things relating to our health. If we are unhealthy and not able to afford a good diet or don’t have access to health care, our life expectancy is going to suffer.
