Annette - You've said this beautifully, and I agree with you that we need to do a lot more than just talk about women's health and to make it a priority. But I also think that the same can be said for men's health. As a country the United States has a disease oriented healthcare system based on economics which provide the most reward for diagnostic and treatment services. This will not change until there's an economic incentive for preventive healthcare education and services. Perhaps women can lead the charge on this. Oh wait...we already do the majority of caregiving, take care of the family's health needs, etc, etc... :-)
