Women's Equality Day
The observance of Women's Equality Day commemorates the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment, granting women the right to vote, and calls attention to women's continuing efforts toward full equality. The ongoing struggle for equal rights for women includes equality in health care.
In our current health care system, women have paid more in out-of-pocket costs for care, have been dependent on their spouses for coverage and have been charged more in premiums just because of their gender.
Today, we can celebrate a major step forward for women's health equality thanks to the new preventive guidelines, released on Aug. 1, by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
