The statistics in this reading are staggering, I was so surprised to learn how many women are uninsured, 19.1 million women?! I'm at least happy to hear that changes are starting to take place and measures are being taken to change some of these numbers. It kind of made me think of when we were discussing how when women go to the hospital they tell all their symptoms (sometimes seemingly unnecessarily) but it made me wonder if some women did so because they try not to go to the doctor often, and when they do they better make sure they've covered everything. Men on the other hand seem to have a better sense of security when it comes to coverage and therefore can perhaps be a little less paranoid and get to the main point.
