OWL, the voice of midlife and older women, released its annual Mother's Day report this week at a Capitol Hill press conference with several members of Congress. Give 'Em Health, Revisited: Medicare-for-All illustrates the ways midlife and older women are especially at risk for lack of health care coverage.

The report provides a scathing overview of what is wrong with the current health system including the one-third of total health care expenditures that go to pay for administration, the tripling of profits over five years of the top seven U.S. health care insurers, and the exorbitant salaries of pharmaceutical company CEOs. Yet 47 million Americans have no health insurance, including 15 percent of women age 60-64. OWL concludes the report by endorsing a Medicare-for-All plan that would provide health care insurance coverage to all Americans without requiring new taxes or fees.
