President Joe Biden signed an executive order Monday aimed at advancing the study of women’s health by strengthening data collection and providing better funding opportunities for biomedical research while chiding Republicans for having “no clue about the power of women” but saying they’re “about to find out” come November’s election.
Women’s health has long been underfunded and understudied. It wasn’t until the 1990s that the federal government mandated women be included in federally funded medical research; for most of medical history, though, scientific study was based almost entirely on men.
“We still know too little about how to effectively prevent, diagnose and treat a wide array of health conditions in women,” said Dr. Carolyn Mazure, the head of the White House initiative on women’s health.
Today, research often fails to properly track differences between women and men, and does not represent women equally particularly for illnesses more common to them — which Biden suggested his order would help change.
You mean the secretary of human health services who reports directly to the president? We are talking about the same thing here, biden.
Actually he has the power within his existing presidential power. he just decided not to. Why, i don’t know. But it isn’t some dictator move. He did it and has done it for disaster relief. He has considered doing it for abortion, but decided not to.
He also ended Medicaid coverage by ending the covid national emergency, something he didn’t have to sign, but did.
Sure Biden hasn’t done nothing, but has done less than he could in my estimation. Saying otherwise? Well i call that cope. You can call it what you want.

thank you for expanding on this
Democrats could have had a landslide victory with no contest if they would just play the cards on the table and be on the peoples’ side for once
not doing so seems fishy why would you not look out for the citizens and instantly lock in votes? who else could the politicians be looking out for?
