Ugh, I heard about this new bill and I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's supposed to give early access to screenings, but I don't know if it's gonna help or hurt in the long run. Just seems like another government thing to me. #confused #HRBill8551

This bill is a joke. Who's gonna pay for all this "no-cost coverage" for mammograms starting at 30? It's just gonna drive up taxes and make healthcare even more of a mess. I don't need the government telling me when to get a mammogram, thanks. #NotBuyingIt
