health care for Women
"Health Care for Women Resolution Reintroduced in House and Senate" is an article fround in "Feminst Daily News". This article is fairly short that does not have a lot of information for an interested one to read. The title caught my eye, "HEALTH". Health care is so important to women and men now a days that whenever you see 'resolution' in the same sentence as 'health' you want to read the article.In this article it was just stating that health care had been re-introduced to the chambers of Congress yesterday by co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues Representative Jan Schakowsky and Senator Debbie Stabenow. If this is passed then that means "that the resolution would help to ensure the needs of women would be met in national healthcare reform," states the article.The article says that with this law being passed, "Congress has to pass a national healthcare reform bill within 18 months that directly addresses the healthcare needs of women." Which would not be hard to do at all because there are women all over the world that are starving for healthcare needs.The article stands up against women not being ablet to afford health care by saying that women who are divorced, or are a single parent, working full or part time, or caring for an elderly parent truely rely on healthcare being provided.I think this law should be and will be passed because it has become such a big deal within the past few years. But I want to ask myself and to you as a reader, Why just women? Why wouldnt it be availble for males as well? Is this judgemental? You tell me.
