As a woman in this country, who would have known but for this debate that as a woman just starting out, same condition, same age, you pay more for your health care as a woman in this country than you do as a man.

So I think that it is fitting in Women's History Month that we honor the contributions of all women in our history, and we honor the contribution of women and our families and our future by bringing quality, affordable and accessible health care to all.
