in CA. When that happens, once again we'll see medical and drug trials based on average white male outcomes, even for drugs or procedures done exclusively for women. This is the way it was for decades, and only in the last few years have major differences between women and men in drug interactions, for example, made their way to the MSM. One such is the pain study... and for women, who tax their bodies on a constant basis between stress, work, child rearing, and housework - this was a major reason why Women's Pain that fell outside the "male norm" ended up being labeled "Female Hysteria." As they take away or rigidly deny medications that treat female only experiences, such as menopause, our well being and lifespan will become closer to the male norm. Thus, the actuarial schedules will applaud, once again.
