In the article, I was surprised at the great proportion of non-elderly women who were living on low income and how many of them had so many health related issues. Coming from a family who has a grandmother that still goes around on her bicycle playing ground golf and the likes, these facts really came as something more like a culture shock. That said, I think it is a really good thing that there are going to be more health reforms where health care would become more accessible. I was curious as to what prompted people to look into non-elderly women, since I get the vague impression that elderly people are usually the focus. I suppose it's nice, however, since taking good care of health from a younger age might lead to a generally better health situation in the older age.

Also, I found it interesting how different races seemed to have different issues in health, with some more than others. This could also be an interesting point to look further into?

That said, on an even more irrelevant note, I was also curious as to how these policies are going to be funded?
