Women’s Health Today to Focus on Health Care Reform Impact on Women

What does health care reform do for women? When a majority of women want and use birth control, why are we having a national debate about insurance coverage of contraception? Hear from the National Women’s Law Center’s senior health policy analyst Anna Benyo, as she gives us the scoop on benefits impacting women.  Join us Friday morning, March 23, 2012, for Women’s Health Today at 8am MST on KUNM 89.9fm or kunm.org.
