It's amazing how triggered some people get when you bring up healthcare. You would think any sensible person would want their fellow country-people to all be adequately covered, not only for immediate, life-threatening things, but also so they would feel comfortable checking out and getting affordable medication for things like STDs, flu vaccines, antibiotics for infectious but non-threatening diseases, as well as maternity and disabilit ...more
Activism and healthcare education are coupled in this compelling argument for universal coverage. Built on the women’s momentum of 2016, the midterms wins and the collective reckoning of the modern woman, anyone who reads this will be inspired to take action.
I was lucky enough to get an early copy of this book, which is thoroughly researched and makes a reasonable case for providing healthcare coverage to ALL Americans. It's NOT a "Medicare for all" book. If you want an approachable way to get educated on our screwy system and some ways to fix it, check it out.

Have you ever felt invisible, discriminated against because you couldn’t pay, or worse, suffering without hope? This is how people with no health insurance feel. In America twenty-eight million women, men and children experience this many days. And most are working!

An entertaining, thought-provoking read
In Marching Toward Coverage, Rosemarie Day powerfully integrates a passionate plea to extend healthcare coverage with a logical, fact-based analysis of our current healthcare system and potential paths forward. That combination of emotion and logic makes for entertaining reading that left me with a lot to think about.

A must read book, especially during this time of coronavirus pandemic. It's been too easy to fuss around the idea of basic healthcare for all for too long, getting stuck in political quagmires. Day gives us a nice balance of stories about real people with enough facts to keep us well informed, presenting a strong argument that the time for basic healthcare for all is now, and that women are well positioned to lead our country there.

A must read for those looking to understand the current state of our health care system, the case for universal coverage, and the activism that is needed to get there. It is digestible and easy to read, while still providing key history, data-driven evidence, and compelling personal accounts. As we continue to move through this COVID/pandemic era this book becomes even more pivotal when we think about who the healthcare system continues to leave behind (e.g., people of color, low-income folks, e

This book is phenomenal! Thank you so much Rosemarie Day for writing it! I learned a ton and found it super accessible and compelling. It's a primer on the merits of different universal healthcare. It shows how women have led and will lead the fight for universal healthcare. Yet, it also provides everyone everywhere with a pathway to participation. It shows how we can reach across the aisle (and pull people across it when necessary) to ensure that healthcare is treated as a human right.

This is a must read for anyone who is confused and frustrated by all of the rhetoric and politics surrounding healthcare. After reading this book, I have a clear understanding of the issues to feel comfortable participating in conversations, and I am inspired to make a difference. Thank you Rosemarie for writing this important book!
A VERY timely read! Rosemarie Day's book provides an approachable way to learn about our broken healthcare system and how we got where we are today. Through personal narrative and a feminist lens, she provides pragmatic solutions to how we can make healthcare a right in this country. This is a great book for students, academics, healthcare professionals, and lay readers alike (this issue affects us ALL)!

I won a copy of this book.
I've had to deal with the American health system for too many of my years. Between an autoimmune disorder and fibroids (so.many.fibroids!) I've become a firm believer in: If you don't have your health, you don't have a life. And since life is one of the three big promises in the US, we really should have a basic healthcare system that covers everyone.
