Anyone who has survived breast cancer will tell you that early detection will save your life. In fact, the 5 year survival rate decreases by 84% between stage 0 and stage 4. Thanks to modern technology, we are now able to detect breast cancer through mammography. However, not everyone can afford a mammogram to detect breast cancer.
Did you know there are still 37 states in the U.S. that do not presently have a bill enacting the right for citizens to provide any type of financial coverage for mammography. By signing this petition, our legislature will know that we want the right to financial coverage for mammography for those who cannot afford it.
The momentum behind this is undeniable and it proves that people are finished waiting for legislators to value our lives over their bottom line. These cowards in government think they can keep ignoring the need for financial coverage but they are about to find out they have no choice.

I am a SURVIVOR and I know firsthand what happens when you catch it early. Stop putting a price tag on our health.

My aunt passed away because she waited too long to get checked out. It shouldnt be about money if your life is on the line.

Ridiculous that healthcare costs so much. Everyone deserves access to life saving screenings regardless of their bank account.
