Whether you are a business owner, career professional, stay at home mom or retired, you are being dramatically impacted by the lack of affordable health care. Learn how Access to Health: An American Values Initiative is really a women's issue. The statistics show that women are far more impacted than men when it comes to finding and affording health care for ourselves and our families. Alina Salganicoff, PhD of Kaiser Family Foundation provides us with an update of the most current statistics and the challenges that women face today. We will follow with a discussion on issues of key importance to you and how the USWCC can best support your interests.
