|  | Raising Wisconsin Women's Voices for the Health Care We Need |
| | | | | |
| Wisconsin women have much at stake in the debate over health care reform. The current American health care system has consistently failed to provide access to needed care for many girls and women. It has also created tremendous challenges for the women who coordinate health care for our families.
The Wisconsin Alliance for Women's Health is a proud supporter of and is serving as the regional coordinator for the National Raising Women's Voices Collaborative and is working to ensure women's health care is represented in the health care reform debate in Wisconsin. |

| 7 Reasons Why Health Care Reform is a Women's Issue
1. Women are more likely than men to need medical services.
2. Women are less able than men to be able to afford medical services and supplies.
3. Women are less likely than men to be offered employment-based health insurance. That is partly because women are more likely than men to work at part-time jobs.
4. Many women are unable to work at jobs that provide health insurance because of the time they spend providing unpaid care to sick, disabled, very young, and very old family members.
5. Women are vulnerable to losing health care coverage because of changes in marital status.
6. Women are vulnerable to losing health care coverage because of state and federal budget cuts.
7. Latinas, immigrant women, young women, and rural women face particularly severe obstacles to obtaining medical care. |
