NEW YORK (AP) — First lady Jill Biden has unveiled a new set of actions to address health inequities faced by women in the United States. The plans include spending at least $500 million annually on women’s health research. The announcement came Monday at the close of the first day of this year’s Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting. The commitment is one of more than 100 expected at the two-day meeting of political, business and philanthropic leaders gathering in New York to address some of the world’s most pressing issues. Former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Clinton Foundation Vice Chair Chelsea Clinton have set this year’s theme as “What’s Working,” a way to look for potential solutions and effective programs in tumultuous times.
