By Emily Jones Newell | With traditional group insurance, employees typically have just a few plans to choose from, none of which are a guaranteed fit. As a result, many women are forced onto a plan that fails to meet their medical needs, leaving them with high costs but still missing the support that matters most.
By switching group insurance to an Individual coverage health reimbursement arrangement (ICHRA), companies can provide the flexible and affordable benefits that meet women where they are.
One-size-fits-all group insurance, selected by employers, no longer makes sense for female employees with unique and ever-evolving health needs. As employers across sectors embrace this new, flexible approach, more women stand to benefit from customizable coverage.

By Virginia Kase Solomón | Barely six months into the new administration, President Trump and his allies are advancing a bill that will fundamentally change our elections and make it harder for millions of women to register, vote and participate in our democracy.
The deceptively named SAVE Act represents the latest and most dangerous threat of election denialism to date.
Proponents of the SAVE Act would have us believe that anyone can walk into a polling station and cast a vote without being identified at all. This could not be further from the truth.
SAVE Act supporters allege mass fraud in our elections, votes under the names of dead people and party activists voting multiple times. This, too, is false.
