From the page: "While men are more likely than women to be uninsured, women�s health coverage is more volatile. Why? Because only 38 percent of women have health coverage through their own job, compared to 50 percent of men. That means women are about twice as likely as men to depend on a spouse or partner�s employer-provided health plan. The negative outcomes here are pretty obvious: For an American woman, the end of a romantic relationship is often not just emotionally tumultuous but medically tumultuous as well, for both herself and her children."

From the page: "Recently, President Barack Obama hosted a White House Tribal Nations conference with representatives from all 564 federally recognized U.S. tribes. Bringing "about meaningful change for those who had, for too long, been excluded from the American dream," was a driving force behind his presidential bid, Obama said. "And few have been more marginalized and ignored by Washington for as long as Native Americans, our first Americans." The president's words deeply resonate with the findings in my upcoming report, "Challenges to Native American Advancement."

From the page: "Maybe one of the funniest parts of our trip to San Francisco was the fact that we spent the entire weekend hanging out (with the one exception of our dear friend Mac) with the child-less. Considering how guilt-riddled I was about leaving the state without Owen, the harmony in that development was not lost. And while I love my son more than I ever thought humanly possible, I do try to avoid being that parent who constantly chatters about parenthood, preschool, and potty training. But amongst the child-less, my status as parent became kind of an anthropological status and I ended up fielding a lot of questions."

From the page: "Filing for office is the process by which a candidate�s name gets placed on the ballot. These requirements vary depending on several factors including: 1) the office sought; 2) whether or not it is a partisan office or non-partisan office; and 3) whether the candidate is running as a member of a Major Political Party, a Minor Political Party, a member of some other political party, or as an independent. To assist candidates, we offer brochures on Running for Office and Running for Office as a Minor Party or Independent Candidate. Additional details are available at the links below."
