Easy way to help poor women get free mammograms

Tue Oct 19, 2004 at 09:37:31 AM PDT

Each time you go to this site:

www.thebreastcancersite.com

and click on the button, the site's advertisers will contribute to several programs that provide free or low-cost mammograms for poor women.  Each person can do this once per day.  From what I can tell, they focus on women between age 40 (when yearly mammograms are recommended) and age 50 (when mammograms are more likely to be covered by other sources).  Presumably, these women do have access to treatment if a cancer is discovered.  

Isn't it pathetic that we have to resort to clicking on a sponsored website for this?  The Kerry/Edwards administration can't come too soon.
