Women may be the ones who make health care decisions for their families, but when it comes to being able to afford health insurance for themselves or pay their medical bills, it's women who take a serious shellacking.
Women are more likely than men to skip preventive care because of the high costs, have trouble paying their medical bills, and be underinsured. The Affordable Care Act, signed into law one year ago this week, was designed to change all that -- and it is already having an enormously positive impact on millions of women and their families. But court challenges and Congressional efforts to repeal or take away funding for the landmark legislation, should they succeed, will compromise women's health and weaken their already tenuous hold on the fragile economic recovery. These efforts must not succeed.
