I thought this article really helped put women's health issues into perspective by giving some more informational background about health care access for women.

I think a few of the trends, including the fact that women are more likely to be dependent, are more of social issues that cause healthcare disparities.

The amount of women on Medicaid is extremely alarming, especially because these women will not have access to the same quality of treatment and will often be denied basic treatment by many doctors and medical centers who do not accept Medicaid.
