Your comment about fair...Dear Nurse Practitioner -<br /><br />Your comment about fair treatment for all is in the best traditions of the nursing profession! Nurses have been special custodians of humane values at least since the time of Florence Nightingale. Your emphasis on equality and freedom from bias is central for an ethical health system.Jim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-74429818415914337142009-08-02T10:50:57.531-04:002009-08-02T10:50:57.531-04:00I really hope that the health reform process addre...I really hope that the health reform process address the issue of an unbiased health system in which no one gets a raw deal.

The larger principle is that a just health system will not penalize individuals for "legitimate" health costs. The fact that women deliver babies and men don't shouldn't make women pay more for health insurance! Similarly, the fact that some people have cancer, heart failure or other conditions shouldn't make them pay more.<br /><br />Best<br /><br />JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-854688175312223982009-06-29T16:50:49.614-04:002009-06-29T16:50:49.614-04:00I think women are not at all getting good deals wh...I think women are not at all getting good deals where health insurance is concerned.

The insurance differential for women is so stark that it just may move political opinion and public understanding towards recognizing that no man or woman is an island. We in the U.S. should structure our health system around universal coverage as virtually every civilized society does. I hope the model of treating the population as a collection of individuals, each of whom should be maximally responsible for her or his health care costs, is on its way out.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>JimJim Sabinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087828142188534542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476621888383604834.post-15965611889528124422008-11-05T07:33:00.000-05:002008-11-05T07:33:00.000-05:00The source of most of the information on the way i...The source of most of the information on the way insurance companies discriminate against women is from a report of the National Women's Law Center: <BR/><B>Nowhere to Turn: How the Individual Health Insurance Market Fails Women</B> at:<BR/>http://action.nwlc.org/site/PageServer?pagename=nowheretoturn&JServSessionIdr001=a8u2lhgq91.app7b<BR/><BR/>This and other information can be found in the newsletters of the Women's Universal Health Initiative.
