‘HealthWeek’ Examines Rise of Uninsured Women in the United States
Beginning November 2, PBS' "HealthWeek," produced in cooperation with the Kaiser Family Foundation, is focusing on women's lack of health insurance. Because many women occupy low-wage jobs or work in industries that don't offer benefits, they often have difficulty accessing health coverage. The latest PBS "HealthWeek" segment looks at existing public programs providing health insurance coverage, and how "easy" it is for many women to "fall through the cracks." This segment will be airing on PBS stations around the country between Nov. 2 and 9, 2001 (KFF release, 11/2). Check local listings for details. Video of this segment is also available online.
