I agree with Kayo in the sense that I wonder what exactly the health care reform bill will do. Yes the fact-sheet said that the recent health care bill will help with the disparities, but on what grounds do they make that assertion? I'm not against the health care bill and I realize that it isn't in the scope of the fact-sheet to discuss specifics, I was just wondering.

Sometimes I found the percentages to be a little confusing and maybe a little misrepresented, for example when the obesity rate for women ages 18-29 was lower than for women ages 30-64, the comparison is between an 11 year gap and 34 year gap and that leads me to doubt the importance of that particular statistic, it would have been more convincing if they had broken up the 30-64 age group and had stats for that. But overall I found it interesting that ethnicity revealed so many disparities and I wonder how much of that can be attributed to socioeconomic status or genetic-predispositions.

Anyways, by the end of it, it's clear to me that non-elderly women represent a gap in our healthcare system and that something should be done about it (both from an economic/burden viewpoint and for quality of life).
