Assure comprehensive, responsive and affordable health care for women. Foster a health marketplace where women can make informed decisions based on quality and cost. Ensure that medical school curriculum includes training for the full spectrum of women and other underserved constituencies. Stop shortsighted cost-cutting practices of managed care that harm women. Recognize and treat domestic violence as a public health issue.
Women constantly juggle.
We are at an all time high of households shared by three or even four generations. Because children remain in or return to the home so long and the elderly live to such advanced ages, many people must simultaneously take care of parents and children. Certainly those who take on this dual responsibility are building stronger families and communities for all of us. Increase quality and access of child care and after-school activities. Raise the value we place on caregivers, and their wages.
