| Put an END to Colon Cancer | Views: 329 |
This is honor of Darlene, who lost her life to colon cancer, at the age of 53. You can see her story here: http://www.darlenehope.com/
What the petition is about is below:
We the undersigned, Citizens, Voters, Families, Friends, Americans, having endured the loss of 56,000 Americans year upon year, decade after decade, now demand that action be taken.
From the moment of the discovery that polyps turn into colon cancer, and their removal prevents it, we had the ability to nearly end this cancer 100%.
We ask that you mandate that all insurance companies cover colonoscopies along with other appropriate screening tools for everyone 18-20 and older. 56,000 lives will be lost this year, and every year until you do.
135,000+ Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer every year – devastating their financial resources and often tearing their families apart.

Thanks for your support -
I can’t imagine that the American public have to demand such things. Here in Canada we are covered for all this including PSA tests for men that was just added to our healthcare. Don’t they see the billions wasted each year by not covering these important tests? I saw a programme on PBS regarding the American Health Care system and how it compares to other countries like Germany, Switzerland, Britain, Canada. If you find the time try to go to their website and see if there is a way view the show. I just hope that Hillary isn’t lying about her health care ideas. It’s about time your country takes care of its own. Concerned Canadian. I love you Americans and what you do for the world but it really is time to share your wealth and ingenuity at HOME.
