I recently came across this posted on an internet forum that I frequent, and now I'm requesting your help. Maybe this won't get seen. Maybe this won't get heard. But maybe there's a chance.
Your U.S. Senators Must Be Told to Vote NO on S.1955.
The U.S. Senate is about to eliminate guaranteed insurance coverage for mammograms and other vital cancer screenings. We're asking you to help stop them. Imagine you or a loved one getting your mammogram or other cancer screening and then being told the insurance company refuses to cover it.
How Can You Help?
Email your Senators Now. Click here (http://www3.capwiz.com/acs-national/8743296.html) to send a quick email to your U.S. Senators Now. Tell them to Save Mammograms and OPPOSE S.1955.
What cancer screenings are at risk in your community?
Select this link (http://www.acscan.org/site/pp.asp?c=cnJHJIPuB&b=1623663) to see a chart of the cancer screenings that you and others may lose access to if this bill passes.
If passed, insurance companies would no longer have to cover mammograms and other life-saving cancer screenings. Pap smears, colonoscopies, prostate cancer screenings, clinical trials, and off-label drug use are all at risk of no longer being covered by insurance companies!
Taking action by emailing your senators will help ensure that people in your community have access to the life-saving cancer screenings they need to prevent cancer or detect it at an early stage. Your senators need to hear from you, their constituent, that this bill is unacceptable. Tell them to oppose S.1955.
Senators are influenced by what they hear from their constituents. If they don't hear from you, they will assume that you just don't care. We know this is not the case. That is why we ask you to select this link (http://www3.capwiz.com/acs-national/8743296.html) to email them right now. We know you care. It's time for Congress to know that, too. Email your Senators right now and tell them to oppose S.1955. Otherwise, more lives will be lost to cancer.
Visit our Save Mammograms campaign page (http://www.acscan.org/site/pp.asp?c=cnJHJIPuB&b=83243) to learn more about this campaign and what else you can do to help keep mammograms covered by insurance.
Thanks for your time. I'll be posting this where I frequent journals and the like, so as many people can get it as possible.
