Dear Mr. Russ Feingold,
I am in favor of the bill H.CON.RES.158, supporting for early detection month for breast cancer and all other forms of cancer as well. The new health care program is saying women don't need a breast exam till age, 50 and only need an exam every two years. This is a huge change because The American Cancer Society say women should be start getting exams when they turn 40 and every year. If this bill does not pass lives will be lost due to not having early detection for cancer.
Early detection, helps the number of cancer survivors and also with living cancer free years after. Without early detection people are going to be in the later stages of cancer, this means it will be harder to overcome and beat. I understand that this new health care program might cut health care cost, but what about trying to save lives from early detection.
This new bill, will help people who may not have the money every year to get the medical check-ups they need. This will help lower the number of deaths from cancer by a significant amount. This impact of the new bill will help scientist with the funding to come one step closer to helping cancer patients.
This change in early cancer detection will mean a lot to me, and others who have known someone who has had and battled, or lost their life to cancer. People who have been part of events to raise money for different cancers will also be affected by seeing a difference in cancer care. This will be a positive affect on all parties who are in-favor of the bill.
The American Cancer Society predicts that for 2009 there will be 1,479,350 new cancer cases and 562,340 deaths in the United States. From 1991 to 2005 men overall cancer death rates have decreased 19.2% and women 11.4%. This means that there was a significant increase in cancer survivors due to early detection.
As a resident of Wisconsin I know you support bills that will help people, and not harm them. I hope that this will be bill will also have your support too. Early detection is important step in preventing, treating, and overcoming cancer and I hope you vote Yes, for this bill to be passed for more awareness of early detection.
I believe that continuing early detection, like breast cancer and others will improve the quality of people lives and help health care providers. This bill impacts a lot of people in a positive way, and the outcome will be greater.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter, I hope that this will impact your decision to vote yes.
