insurance

At a conference on women's health care needs in fall 2008, a woman whom Ill identify as Marcia said: "Massachusetts requires me to buy health insurance. I had an ovarian cyst and some other health issues last year and the high co-pays for doctors visits, surgery, and medications left me so deep in debt that I had to declare personal bankruptcy. And every month, I still have to pay the health insurance bill."

The National Women’s Law Center has released a new report, “Nowhere to Turn: How the Individual Health Insurance Market Fails Women,” and is hosting a webinar on Thursday, Oct. 16, to discuss the findings. Register here.
