Study: Less education = poorer health

According to this study by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, education is liked to good health. When looking at California:

Compared with college graduates, adults who have not graduated from high school are nearly three times as likely--and those who have graduated from high school are twice as likely--to be in less than very good health.
I'm a little uncertain as to how directly the two can be connected, as education is linked to income, which is linked to socioeconomic status, which has been clearly linked with health indicators. The study does acknowledge income effects. The variables seem rather linked and hard to separate.
