It seems that to cover all the uninsured women is really a huge task because in the reading, it says that "Medicaid covers 12% of nonelderly women, rising from 10% of women in 2008. Only 2% more percent during the past two years. How can the government ensure in the future four years the health insurance will nearly cover all the uninsured women? The medicare is only for low-income women who are either: pregnant, mothers of children who are 18 years or under, disabled, or over 65 . There are lots of limitations. Also for those women who are dependent on
their spouses, they are actually potential uninsured women because once their spouse loses his job, they do not have any insurance any more. As is said in the reading,between 2009 and 2010, the actual number of women (and men) with employer sponsored coverage actually fell for the first time, a reflection of the high unemployment rate. It is clear to see how those women are vulnerable to the change of the economic environment.
According to the new health law, it seems that it can reach an ideal situation in 2014 since most of the problems are dealt in the new health law. The question is how efficient this law can be? How each state is going to cover all the uninsured women since some of the states do not really have enough money for that? The tax might be even higher. What if there will be higher unemployment rates in the future? As a result, there might be lots of problems.
