The National Partnership's Health Care Program helps women navigate the changing health care system and works to ensure access to quality, affordable health care.
Women are the primary consumers of health services and have unique health needs.
They are also the health care decision-makers for their families and the majority of managed care, Medicare, and adult Medicaid enrollees. Women have a tremendous stake in how well our health care system meets their own and their families' needs. Through its Health Care Program, the National Partnership addresses a broad range of women's health concerns. The National Partnership is a voice for women in the managed care debate, promotes access to the full range of reproductive health services, and works to prevent discrimination based on genetic information. The National Partnership also works to expand health services for low-income women and children and to ensure quality care in Medicare and Medicaid.
