Acerca de esta escucha

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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)

Affordable healthcare is what everyone needs and deserves!

After reading Rosemarie’s and her family’s experience with access to care during difficult times, one may wonder how many millions are struggling to navigate thru the complicated US healthcare system.

While I applaud her work in ACA, Medicare, and Medicaid (to the extend) for making healthcare easy to understand for everyone, more and more exceptionally talented and smart Harvard MBAs are electing to work for McKinsey and other think-tanks for helping US based for-profit insurance companies maximize their P/E for their shareholders in Switzerland. Recently, hospitals got the taste of capitalism too as they want their share of the profits (albeit many are not-for-profit) at the expense of their patients - leading down the path of fraud, waste, and abuse.

US healthcare needs compassionate leaders like the author to fix this massive broken, and massively promising, system.

Excellent argument (and timing) for change

The author does a fantastic job of laying out the deficiencies of the current healthcare system in the U.S. - way too expensive (it's the price, stupid), with substandard outcomes compared to every other developed nation. This is, simply put, not good enough. We deserve better. The author lays out a plausible means of getting there - an incremental approach, that while likely to take time to "complete", is nonetheless possible in the current era of political divide. A remaining question might be ... spark. What spark can ignite a groundswell of demand for change? Perhaps we are there now. The current COVID crisis is not unlike an attack on human kind. A crisis of such proportion that our current political differences are likely to pale in comparison. Perhaps as the stages of absorbing this crisis set in, people will seek some meaning. Given that the crisis has occurred, what can we now do? It is very likely the COVID crisis will starkly highlight the deficiencies of our healthcare system. Perhaps, COVID is the spark, and Day has laid out a path to a better healthcare system for our country.

By the way, it is an excellent Audible listen, and it's great to have the Preface in the author's voice.

Marching Towards Coverage is Empowering!!

This is a very well written and highly informative book. The author is extremely knowledgeable in Healthcare and presents many facts that have proven we need to unite as women to make Universal Healthcare a right for all Americans. It should not be a privilege!
Thank you for inspiring me to get involved with a movement that will further Universal Healthcare.
I am making this a priority- if you read this book— you will too!!

Important to read

Well written and thoughtful presentation on a critical issue. Ms. Day seeks to bridge gaps without budging on the core value of universal coverage. You may not agree with everything she advocated for, but it’s an important read for both women and men to hear. Btw: usually like to authors as narrators, but narration is excellent.
