Recently, the decision was made to raise the age of women to receive mammograms annually for women up to the age of 50 ( twice a year for women over 40) and annual pap tests for women to the age of 30 (women in their 20's to get this exam every 2 years).
Though health insurance providers want to avoid spending money then it isn't necessary, I am highly concerned. I personally know of 2 cases where women under 40 were diagnosed with breast cancer.. One of the 2 were survivors.
I have known of four cases of women in their early 20's that were diagnosed with cervical cancer. This scares me. Carcer has no descrimination when it comes to age. This could lead to existing problems remaining unnoticed until it is too late. This could be a disaster in the making.

In what way could action be taken to adjust this?
