We keep talking about how women can "have it all," and keep requiring them to make that true. Have it all: make money for the family, tend to the children, take care of aging parents... the list goes on.

Day makes the case in the book Marching Toward Coverage: How Women Can Lead the Fight for Universal Healthcare. We learn the components of her plan in this interview.
