Currently in the United States you have to be at least 40 to get a mammogram and it is still expensive without insurance. My close family friend had breast cancer before the age you can get screened. She detected a lump herself, but as she was under the age of 40. She would not have been screened for several years had she not found it.

   While she is very lucky to catch it early, others have not been as fortunate. I think that the age of mammograms should be lowered to 35 and it should be covered more by the government for the less fortunate. You can get breast cancer at any time. Protect yourself.

   This is very important because if you don't get diagnosed early, you run the risk of having to pay even more money to get treated and end up will expensive bills that are hard to pay or end up dying with silimar outcomes. By signing this campaign you can show the American Cancer Society that we want better access to mammograms.
