Gender disparities in healthcare

New studies show the U.S. ranks last in preventable deaths, and a surprising majority are women.

    Please don't

    Please don't turn our poor healthcare delivery system into a gender issue. Our system sucks. Period. End of story. The gender thing is a pointless diversion. There is no war on women, healthwise.

    I'm a 50 year-old male who has lost his job through no fault of my own. Lost my insurance, too. I'm looking for a job, but they're hard to come by where I live. In the meantime, I got nothing. Me and women who are also uninsured are looking at exactly the same scenario, the exact same disparity.

    For Gods sakes, not everything is part of a vast conspiracy against women.

    —Anonymous
