Why The Current Healthcare System Does Not Work For Women
The White House has information available to the public and invites our input. The federal government website, www.healthreform.gov, has gathered information from experts and the public and addresses these points:
• Women are more vulnerable to high health care costs than men.
• The current health insurance framework leaves too many women uncovered.
• Higher costs and inadequate benefits make the individual insurance market an unreliable choice for women.
• As a result, women are more likely than men to experience difficulty accessing care.
We should all have strong opinions on this subject, preferably opinions based on facts. Listen – learn - join the debate!
To me, the fundamental question is this: For Americans, is health care a right or a privilege?

Dear Annette,
I definitely believe healthcare is a right. We should all pressure our elected officials to make sure that they attempt to be beholden to the people that elected them, rather than to corporate interests.
