WOMEN constitute more than half the population in the United States. Yet our health-care system treats women's health needs as if they are something outside the normal realm of services.

Women's health care is in fact basic health care: annual gynecological exams; pap smears to screen for cervical cancer; breast-cancer screening, and birth control. Unfortunately, in our current health-care system, women are penalized simply because of their anatomy. On average, women of childbearing age pay 68 percent more out-of-pocket for their health care largely because of reproductive-health needs.

As our nation continues debating health-care reform, we need to make sure that we get it right for women. This generation of women — and our daughters and granddaughters — depends on it. Reproductive health care should not be separated out as something unusual. It is simply basic health care for women.

Internationally, it has long been established that offering reproductive-health services and information improves the health and well-being of women, families and entire communities. Why is it that here our elected officials still struggle to recognize the tremendous value of these services?
