Health insurance is a critical factor in making health care accessible to women. Women with coverage are more likely to obtain preventive, primary, and specialty care services, and have better access to many of the new advances in women’s health. Most of the 96 million women ages 18 to 64 have some form of coverage. However, the patchwork of different private sector and publicly-funded programs in the U.S. leaves one in five uninsured. The new health reform law includes several measures that will change the profile of women’s coverage between now and 2014 when the new law will be implemented.
