The leggings and juices are nice (great, even!
), but theyre surplus to requirement.
It was founded to provide an engaging investing experience to help women meet their financial goals in life.
Those foundational necessities for physical and mental well-being, however, are not guaranteed.
To receive life-saving medicine, it must be available and affordable.
Each of these thingsand so many moreare determined by the decisions made in Washington.

Wellness and politics cannot be separated.
Lets take them one by one.
In the years following the passing of the ACA,rates of uninsured people plummeted.
The ACA mandated that primary care, including contraception, be fully covered.
It allowed young adults to stay on a parents health care plan until age 26.
And it even required that employers give postpartum women reasonable time and privacy to pump breast milk.
President Trump opposes the ACA, saying that he has his own, better health plan.
And his administration made it easier for employers to deny employees contraceptive coverage in their health insurance plans.
If the ACA is invalidated, the impacts will be vast.

Twenty-one million people could find themselves uninsured.
The 133 million Americans with preexisting conditions could be denied coverage.
Trump also supports legal efforts to gut or entirely destroy the ACA.
The Supreme Court could strike the law down, ending the ACA as we know it.
In that case, the final decision would revert to that of the lower court.
And in this case, the lower court invalidated the entirety of the law.
If the ACA is invalidated, the impacts will be vast.
Twenty-one million people could find themselves uninsured.
The133 million Americanswith preexisting conditions could be denied coverage.
Hundreds of millions will find themselves paying more for both insurance premiums and care itself.
Millions of young people will no longer be eligible to stay on a parents plan.
That said, critics and supporters agree that the ACA is far from perfect.
Health-care costs remain sky-high in the United States, andoutcomes are relatively poorcompared to what we spend.
Trump has not spelled out what he would do about those issues, either.
His proposal would also increase subsidies on the ACA exchanges.
And he would lower the Medicare eligibility age to 60.
Biden has pledged to maintain and ideally expand access to abortion and contraception.
A goal of his administration is to make abortion illegal.
What is The Missionary Sex Position?
The Biden reproductive rights platform stands in sharp contrast to Trumps.
Its all on the line.
I know when people hear that they think, Youre being a Chicken Little.
But really: The sky is falling.
The sky is falling and people need to realize that.

Importantly,Roe v. Wadeis not just about abortion rights.
Its a case that built on previous jurisprudence that established a right of sexual privacy.
But really: The sky is falling.
The sky is falling and people need to realize that.
And theres a narrowing window of time to do something about it.
The differences between Trump and Biden here are not just about politics.
Abortion is one of the most politically contentious issues in the United States.
What is often missed in the political debate, though, are the very settled public health questions.
Already, abortion and even contraception are difficult for many American women to get.
When it comes to Trump vs. Biden, it depends on how fat your pocketbook already is.
For most Americans, their tax rate would remain the same.
Families making less than $400,000 per year (most American families) would not see their taxes increase.
Kwan says these concerns may be misplaced.
Higher taxes dont necessarily mean poor market returns, she says.
But there were also high market returns in that time.
And in the 2000s, we had very low taxes, and not great market returns.
One of those factors is debt, and for young Americans, student loan debt in particular.
Biden would additionally increase educational grants, and make it easier to discharge student debt in bankruptcy.
TheTrump student loan planis thinner and less advantageous to students and loan-holders.
Trump has proposed eliminating the payroll tax, which is what pays for Social Security.
But that doesnt make the shorter-term impacts negligible.
I dont know if our ecosystems can withstand another Trump administration.
And of course we depend on nature for our own survival.

And, Johnson says, the health of the planet doesnt affect everyone equally.
Communities of color and low-income communities tend to be hit first and worst by climate change.
But it also manifests in the physical body.
We see this with the intersection with COVID, Johnson says.
While many environmentalists critiqued Bidens climate plan during the Democratic primaries, Biden the nominee gave it an overhaul.
