| National Partnership for Women and Families - Health Care |
Our health care system is broken. We’ve all experienced it for ourselves, read heart-breaking stories, or watched loved ones suffer needlessly. For women and their families, there is no more urgent priority. We need a health care system that provides affordable choices, comprehensive coverage including the full range of reproductive health services, and access to health professionals who deliver the highest quality care.
Affordability - The high cost of health care is a huge problem for women, who are more likely to need and use services, but often have less ability to pay. More » Choice of Plan - Women are more likely to own or work for the smallest businesses, many of which struggle to provide health insurance coverage to employees. More »
Market Protections - Insurers today can turn people away, raise rates or drop coverage based on a person’s health history, and they can delay or deny essential care. More »
Adequate Coverage - Many insurance plans do not provide comprehensive coverage, particularly to women. More »
Reliability - There is little assurance that health plans will be there over the long haul.More »
Quality and Cost - America’s health care system is largely blind to quality, outcomes or appropriateness of the care delivered and received. More »
Health Care Reform - The time for health care reform is now. Are you up to the challenge?More »
Reproductive Health - Some politicians want to deny your access. Don’t let them get away with it.More » Join the Campaign for Better Care. Health care reform must put patients first.Visit the National Partnership Website.
