Women’s Health Insurance Coverage

Health insurance is a key element in health care accessibility for women, as women with coverage are more likely to obtain preventive, primary, and specialty care services. However, many women face barriers to obtaining coverage because they have limited access to private insurance or do not qualify for public programs. This fact sheet provides new statistics on health coverage and describes the major sources of health insurance for non-elderly adult women ages 18-64, including employer-sponsored coverage, Medicaid, individually purchased insurance, and Medicare. It also summarizes the major policy challenges facing women in obtaining health coverage, and provides data on the more than 17 million women who are uninsured.

Science to Service? A Reality Check

Researchers, policymakers, health care providers, and most critically, individuals with mental illnesses and their families today recognize that translating the remarkable breakthroughs into procedures and policies of everyday clinical practice is an urgent, essential, and achievable task. Exciting new research-based advances are emerging that will enhance the delivery of treatments and services in areas crucial to consumers and families…. Yet a gap persists in the broad introduction and application of these advances in services delivery to local communities, and many people with mental illness are being denied the most up-to-date and advanced forms of treatment.
