Early Detection

The Affordable Health Care act– guarantees out-of-pocket costs will be eliminated in new insurance plans for proven preventive services, giving people access to lifesaving screenings for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. 

How can you argue with this??? People who can't afford mammograms don't get them, if they find the cancer too late, the cost of their care is beyond fathomable - and guess what??? They can't pay for that care and the taxpayers will, after years of account receivable, lawyers, tax write offs, etc...

The Affordable Health Care act is a law, one that was upheld by the Supreme Court...what is there to argue about to the point of shutting down our government? 

I am beyond dismayed at our leaders who are clearly acting in the best interest of themselves, their business constituents, and  big insurance companies. It is very sad :(

As for me, my life was saved thanks to early detection. 36, stage 1, triple negative and now cancer free for three years. I am blessed and fortunate to have had a good job,  great employer, and fantastic health insurance through all of this...there are many who aren't so lucky.

In the end, love wins. Period.

P.S. It's where's Waldo month for Cancer patients...be easy on them.
