Yes, I can see that. And, I think it still stands, given that when austerity measures are put in to place (and which, of course, never touch 'defense' spending) the first casualty seems to be vaccination amongst the economic marginals. Every time the Republicans de-emphasize public health measures, it is the populations in urban cores which seem to suffer.
