Chapter 1
Annie had an assignment due for her history exam. She was supposed to write about an event in
American history that had impacted her family. Part of the assignment was to interview a family
member and then write about what she had learned. She reached out to her grandmother, who she
remembered having mentioned something about working on the ERA. Annie wanted to learn
more, so she went home the next weekend from school and sat down to interview her
grandmother about what she had done related to the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and why
she had participated. Her grandmother described being a young woman with a lot of dreams
about her career and the world she wanted to live in. At the time, there were limited career
opportunities for women; they were not paid the same as men; there was broad-based sexism in
the workplace; and if you got pregnant, most women were encouraged to leave work to go raise
their families. In addition, Annie's grandmother described the backdrop of the civil rights
movement, where she and her friends were also fighting for racial equality. Women's rights were
wrapped up, for her, in the context of civil rights. She and many women worked together in
volunteer groups to create awareness and advocacy for the ERA.
Questions
1. What are the similarities and differences between the ERA and the civil rights
movements?
Answer:
Similarities: Both the ERA and the civil rights movements were fighting for equal rights
and protection under the law.
Differences: The ERA specifically focused on gender equality, while the civil rights
movement primarily focused on racial equality. Additionally, the ERA targeted legal and

social inequalities faced by women, such as unequal pay and limited career opportunities,
whereas the civil rights movement primarily addressed racial segregation.
2. What are the key issues that Annie's grandmother wanted to address through her
participation in the ERA?
Answer: Annie’s grandmother wanted to address the systematic gender bias in the
workplace, which included:
• Limited career opportunities for women
• Gender-based pay disparities
• Workplace sexism and discrimination
• Societal expectations regarding women’s roles in raising families
• Lack of legal protections against gender-based discrimination
3. Why would Annie's grandmother choose to support policy/advocacy around women's
rights in the late 1960s or 1970s?
Answer: Annie’s grandmother was at a point in her life where she was experiencing
inequality in her life and in her career. She was also inspired by the civil rights movement
happening concurrently.

Chapter 2
Dr. Janice Beekley is the Medical Director of one of the largest health insurance companies in
the United States. It is her job to review new medical technologies and determine which ones
will be covered by the health plan, and which will not. To decide this, she and the committee of
experts she works with review new products to see if they have significant clinical value and
what the cost of covering them would be. When products are not as effective as the current
standard of care, they are usually not covered. When they are as effective but more expensive,
they also may not be covered. When products are more effective, but very costly, the insurance
plan usually reimburses for their use—but may create access barriers to them so that physicians
and patients have to demonstrate they absolutely need something prior to having access to the
service.
Examples of this include CT scans for assessing back injuries. Dr. Beekley and her
colleagues recently reviewed all the published evidence about CT scans to assess back injuries
and came to the conclusion that they were being overused. Additionally, CT scans are very
expensive and were costing the health insurer millions of dollars every year. Dr. Beekley created
a specific policy that outlined when CT scans can and cannot be used. If a patient gets a CT scan
for one of the unapproved reasons, they will have to pay for that imaging test out of their own
pocket. This could cost them close to $1000. As a result, another initiative Dr. Beekley is
working on is helping people to understand what is covered and what is not, and how to look up
that information as part of the routine healthcare process.
Dr. Beekley’s task for today is to evaluate whether the health insurance company should
cover and pay for a new test for cervical cancer screening. It is a more expensive test, but
because it is more effective than the current standard, it might save money in the long term.
