27-Million U.S. Women Uninsured In 2010

[kpete]

An estimated 27-million women in the U.S. went without health insurance for at least part of the year last year.

That's according to a newly-released Women's Health Care report by the Commonwealth Fund.

The report also finds a significant rise in the number of women skipping out on medical care because of high costs.

Nearly half of all U.S. women, some 48-percent, say they skipped doctor visits, tests, treatments or follow-up visits or didn't fill a prescription because they couldn't afford it.

That's up from 34-percent of women who said the same a decade ago.

1. I am one of them and will continue to be one until we get single payer universal

health care. If I get really sick, well it sucks to be me but I won't saddle my family with insurmountable debt that could leave them homeless.
