As a centerpiece
of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(ACA)
of 2010, the focus on preventive services is a profound shift from a reactive
system that primarily responds to acute problems and urgent needs to one
that helps foster optimal health and well-being. Women stand to benefit
from this shift given their longer life expectancies, reproductive and gender-
specific conditions, and historically greater burden of chronic disease and
disability. And, for the same reasons, they will benefit economically since the
ACA removes cost-sharing requirements for specified preventive services—
eliminating out-of-pocket costs that often put screenings, counseling and
procedures supporting health out of reach for moderate- and lower-income
women.”
