“How many more mothers, daughters, and sisters will needlessly die under our healthcare system before we stand up and say enough is enough?”
Opinion: How Women Win with Medicare for All
Women’s E-News. Kirsten Magnuson & Dr. Ana Malinow. July 14, 2019
In this op-ed, Kirsten Magnuson and Dr. Ana Malinow outline the special challenges women face when it comes to health insurance and health care.
“Our healthcare system is surely broken when some women feel compelled to marry, stay married or remain in a harmful job just to retain their health benefits. This outdated arrangement is a form of subjugation that has no place in our wealthy, democratic nation today.”
Kirsten Magnuson is chair of Health Care for All-California. Dr. Ana Malinow is a past president of Physicians for a National Health Program.
HEAL California’s Op-Ed project aims to elevate the voices of those seeking a healthcare system that works for everyone.
