The Triple Threat in Women's Health

Hello Alpha Team

September 13, 2024

A recent Deloitte report has highlighted a concerning trend: half of women in the U.S. are skipping or delaying necessary medical care. This alarming statistic is driven by three interconnected factors: affordability, access challenges, and past negative experiences, a phenomenon referred to as the "triple threat." As employers and benefits consultants, it's crucial to understand this issue and take proactive steps to address it within your employee benefits programs.

The Triple Threat

  • Affordability: Women are significantly more likely than men to skip care due to cost, even for essential services like mental health treatment. The rising cost of healthcare, coupled with the gender pay gap, makes it increasingly difficult for women to afford the care they need.
  • Access Challenges: Long wait times, transportation issues, and inconvenient appointment scheduling create significant barriers to care for many women. The traditional healthcare model, with its rigid structure and limited availability, is often at odds with the realities of women's lives.
  • Past Negative Experiences: Women are more likely to report negative experiences with healthcare providers, including misdiagnosis, dismissal of their concerns, and even outright mistreatment. These experiences erode trust in the healthcare system and discourage women from seeking care, even when it's necessary.
