Lower the age to 35 for women to get a mammogram


Lower the age to 35 for women to get a mammogram
The Issue
I am a 39 year old woman with stage 4 breast cancer. If mammograms were covered by health insurance companies at an earlier age than 40 then I could have had an earlier detection. Instead, I was not able to find a lump on my own until I progressed way too late. Women are getting this awful disease at an earlier age now. I believe health care should lower the age from screenings from 40 to 35.
