How the Individual Health Insurance Market Fails Women
Many Americans are unfamiliar with the harsh realities of the individual health insurance market because they receive health insurance through an employer. However, as a number of prominent health care reform proposals consider expanding the role of the individual market, it is important to understand how this system fails women.
The upcoming Reform Matters Toolkit will help women's advocates be full participants in the health care reform movement at the state and national levels. This resource outlines the basics of health care reform and explores several issues in health reform and their impact on women's access to comprehensive, affordable, high-quality care.
