Finding and keeping affordable health insurance for women is proving to be much more difficult than it is for men.

Studies at the National Women's Law Center, and reported at huliq.com, found that even women who do have medical coverage are more likely than insured men to go without needed health care because of costs. Also, a higher percentage of women than men struggle with medical bills.

Women are at a disadvantage because they have greater health care needs than men do. As a result, "33% of insured women and 68% of uninsured women don't get the health care they need because they can't afford it."

Sadly, all the studies in the world regarding breast cancer, heart disease, diabetes and more won't do any good until affordable health insurance for women makes it possible for them to find and keep the kind of medical coverage they need to stay healthy.
