Summary

A lively, clear explanation of the American healthcare reform movement from a noted expert - giving women the tools they need to demand fair and affordable coverage for all people

Healthcare is one of America's most dysfunctional and confusing industries, and women bear the brunt of the problem when it comes to both access and treatment. Women, who make 80 percent of healthcare decisions for their families, are disproportionately impacted by the complex nature of our healthcare system - but are also uniquely poised to fix it.

Founder and CEO of Day Health Strategies Rosemarie Day wants women to recognize their trouble with accessing affordable care as part of a national emergency. Day encourages women throughout the country to share their stories and get involved, and she illustrates how a groundswell of activism, led by everyday women, could create the incentives our political leaders need to change course.

Marching Toward Coverage gives women the clear information they need to move this agenda forward by breaking down complicated topics in an accessible manner, like the ACA (Affordable Care Act), preexisting conditions, and employer-sponsored plans. With more than 25 years working in healthcare strategy and related fields, Day helps the average American understand the business of national health reform and lays out a pragmatic path forward, one that recognizes healthcare as a fundamental human right.

Critic reviews

“Day convincingly makes a case for universal coverage and more and better investments in social services.” (Booklist)

"Day offers a simpler remedy for fixing healthcare. If we want a healthcare system that’s more humane, more practical, and gets the important things right, turn to women. Read it and let’s get going." (Andy Slavitt, former administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services)

"‘Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated’, said Donald Trump. Actually, many of us did and do know, especially Rosemarie Day, whose new book, Marching Toward Coverage, is a breath of fresh enlightenment over a murky and complex topic. Her analysis is sharp and powered by exceptional passion and insight. Read it to be informed and mobilized." (John McDonough, Harvard Chan School of Public Health)

"Day’s remarkable book succeeds on two fronts. First, grounded in a deep understanding of the historical and political moments that have shaped American healthcare, it makes an accessible, straightforward argument for universal healthcare in America. Second, it makes the compelling and provocative argument that women are disproportionately disadvantaged by our poor healthcare system and can represent the solution. The book is a primer in healthcare and an activist call to action in one, a must-read for anyone interested in better health for all in the United States." (Sandro Galea, Dean of the School of Public Health at Boston University)
