Please read Chapter Three: “Gender, Health, and Reproductive Justice” in your Introduction to Women’s and Gender Studies 112 text.

The Introduction to Chapter Three states that the United States is “one of a few countries that does not have universal healthcare, so that our system is a patchwork of private and public insurance that leaves many people underinsured and uninsured.” (pg.147) Drawing upon the Chapter Three readings, discuss the biases we see in healthcare policies regarding race, gender, class, and sexuality. Discuss why joining forces across social justice issues does or does not make sense.
