With health care insurance, we all make the commen mistake of believing its goal is insuring the health and well being for all. Well, its primary purpose has always been to make money, not prolong lives. Health insurance, like auto safety, merely reflects societal viewpoints at any moment in time. Would any car company market a new car without airbags or seat belts? These safety items are not now provided by benevolent auto manufacturers for the common good, but by legislative fiat once the need became widely recognized by the public.
The same with health insurance. Change will come only when all women understand our needs and speak with a loud, clear voice.
