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.

Why Reform Matters
When you look at the facts about women and health care, it's clear - a lot of progress needs to be made. The National Women's Law Center's Reform Matters: Making Real Progress for Women and Health Care is a new project aimed at encouraging women to be active and vocal advocates in the fight for progressive health care reform and giving them the tools to do so.
Here are some of the things you can do on the Reform Matters website:
- Join our national conference call series on health reform
- Reserve copy of the Reform Matters Toolkit
- Use our resources to learn more about the harmful disparities women face under our current health care system
- Contact the National Women's Law Center for technical assistance on health care reform in your state
