A Mammogram Never Felt So Good


 

 
Who would have thought that a mammogram could ever be made a little more pleasant?

Thanks to some of the provisions of the new health care law that took effect last month, now, when you enroll in a new health plan, you no longer have co-pays for certain preventive health care services, including mammograms.

Keeping your family, friends, and co-workers healthy can be as easy as a click of a button. Share our e-card in honor of National Mammography Day, and remind those you are close to about the importance of getting their annual mammograms.

And check out our latest fact sheets to find out more about what there is to like for women in the new health care law.

Sincerely,
Judy Waxman Judy Waxman
Vice President for Health and Reproductive Rights

P.S. We thank you for all the ways you have helped us achieve so much, and we need your continued support to continue to make gains for women and their families. Please donate today.

Heroes


Anthony Weiner - Newsletter

Click here to sign our petition.When you hear the cough of someone in New York caused by toxic dust from September 11, everyone knows it. These are the people that rushed to the scene to help any way they could, and because of their heroic actions, too many of them are now sick or even dying.

After political back-and-forth, we finally passed a bill in the House to pay for the healthcare these people need. Now we need the Senate to do the same thing. We have an obligation to step up for these Americans the way they stepped up for us.

I’m asking you to do one thing: sign my petition to put pressure on the Senate to pass our House bill quickly. We can’t let first responders go another day without the healthcare they deserve.

Click here to tell the Senate to swiftly pass our bill to fund healthcare for September 11 first responders. We made a commitment that we would never forget that horrific day nine years ago, and this is how we can show them we have not.

The House’s passage was a long-awaited first step towards getting heroic Americans the care and support they undeniably deserve. Now, we need to make sure it sees the light of day in the Senate.

We’ve seen the Senate become a final resting place for too many good bills recently, and we need to band together to make sure this bill becomes law.

Click here to send a clear message to your senators: if you’re a politician who stands up each year in remembrance of September 11, now is the time to follow through on your word. First responders are counting on us in the same way we counted on them.

After nearly a decade passed, the House did the right thing — but it’s not enough. We need the Senate to pass this crucial legislation to provide treatment to over 71,000 people exposed to dangerous toxins on the scene.

Thanks,
Anthony
