Description/History:
This petition is to mandate that all insurance companies cover colonoscopies along with other appropriate screening tools for everyone 18-20 and older.

Voices of Fairfield County.
Petition:
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.
