Being a Woman is Not a Pre-Existing Condition
In a new report, the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) found that many women still have nowhere to turn for their health care.
The report found that women continue to face unfair and discriminatory practices when obtaining health insurance either in the individual or group health insurance market.
