Women Crucial to Healthcare

Michelle Obama commented in a recent speech that women are the key to healthcare. What she meant was that women are the ones that make the appointments, choose the doctors, decide when to take family to the doctor, and even to some extent which procedures might be done. Women deal with the “business” of keeping their family healthy. That includes making decisions based on money and the family budget when it comes to going to the doctor.

Do you think this is true? Should women be more involved in healthcare reform because they are the medical decision makers in their family?
