Last Thursday, Diana Furchtgott-Roth of the Hudson Institute testified before the Senate HELP Committee on the detrimental effects that current health care reform proposals would have on women.
Her main points:
My colleague Carrie has written extensively about this, and has many of the same recognitions that Ms. Furchtgott-Roth does, including making insurance more affordable through regulation tweaks and de-linking insurance from employment status. The best thing for women, and for the country as a whole, is a robust economy - not additional regulations and taxes that will discourage job creation.
