Marcia D. Greenberger, co-president of the National Women's Law Center, said, "The U.S. Civil Rights Commission has issued a disappointing report rehashing the same old stereotypes that women are not as interested in playing sports as men."
“The health care industry and health care insurance in general has been riddled with the most discriminatory and unfair practices to women,” said Marcia D.
