A new report suggests that, for many women, the problem isn’t whether they have health insurance, but what happens when they actually try to use it. Two women are on a mission to create a solution.

And while we’re getting our kids ready for back-to-school, it’s not just about the uniforms, new shoes, and haircuts, we also need to think about the life skills they’ll need.
