Women have higher health costs earlier in life because of their reproductive health needs. It was a purposeful exclusion to form a committee without a single woman who might have more insight into the health care needs of women, children, and families. Sullivan himself was clueless at his own townhall when asked a very simple question about a universal human experience--birth. He had no clue how much that might cost. Hospital births are the norm, 97-8%, a third of those are surgical births. And we have a senator who thinks only people wanting to have children and families should share insurance costs for that universal human experience. We were all born. And Senator Murkowski thinks an all-male committee is no sign of purposeful exclusion. Willful.
