As a young adult with cancer, I have met many other young adult women who also have cancer. Breast cancer in younger women is becoming more and more prevalent. We have to do something. Young women are dying from this and they are way too young to be having such advanced stage cancer.
Because insurance companies are not required to cover mammograms (like they cover PAP smears and birth control), many companies require women to pay for them out of pocket.
Thank you for this petition. I have signed & shared!
Early detection is the key!

Their dreams of watching their children should not be cut short because a group of Dr.'s and nurses whom are paid off by insurance companies says they can't be screened but you can sit around and wait to die. They are MD and DO put and oncologist on the panel, put a radiologist on the panel. They see the young women every day. Put the Doctors who know what they are talking about on the panel. I have radiologist and breast surgeons and ohh yes Oncologist signed the petition.

please sign so another family don't have to decide feed our children or.. Our women are just as equal as the men. No reason why breast cancer screening shouldn't be part of a womens physical. Breast cancer is the number one killer among women (breast cancer)

I agree, it should be covered in the Free annual physical.

the petition also covers BRCA ! and II and also it will protect the women everyone always forgets about the ADOPTED who don't know their medical history. Please sign and let your voice be heard. Nobody has the right to tell you have to just sit and wait to get cancer and die. Statistically by the time it is found you are stage III or IV. make it part of physical just like pelvic exam. Please sign and share petition. Let your voice be heard MEN and WOMEN.

Please everyone sign and share. The life you may be saving maybe your own. We are losing our young mothers and best friends and for what $400. You going to tell me a 1st calss mother of 3 is only worth less that $400.  Breast exams should be routine. Birth control and pelvic exams are. BC is the number #1 killer and yet they want to raise the age. HOW DOES THAT EVEN MAKE ANY SENCE.
