A too-brief report on a significant issue affecting women's health: higher costs and more denial of coverage based on their gender. Many sides are represented but the piece lacks quotations from women who have experienced this. Some telling statistics are included; outbound links to relevant reports would be more informative.

This is an important topic, but the writer doesn't seem to know which direction to take it. He begins with the claim women are overcharged for insurance and ends with the claim that charging them the same as men would still be unfair. Quoting a spokeswoman for a Congressman, rather than the Congressman himself diminishes the credibility of the piece. And citing the results of "a survey last year" without naming it casts a shadow of doubt over its validity. Finally, the writer tends to use "and" to join separate thoughts together in a single sentence, which gives the article a sophomoric, breathless tone.

While the topic of providing preventive and maternity care for women is one that would be expected to be of interest to women and anyone related to a woman, the issue is framed as if it only effects women, and not all people born of woman. Congressman Boehner's spokeswoman's comments are not directly related to the issue of coverage for women, so their position in the middle of the story disrupts the flow of ideas.
