Policy Wonk Question

[sandnsea]

I go in for a follow-up mammogram Monday and it will be covered, for free, by my horrible subsidized health insurance.

It got me to thinking though. There is some program for women to get mammograms, there's the immunization program, birth control programs, etc.

When calculating costs, these programs will now have to be paid by insurance companies. Has anybody seen whether the CBO has removed the federal cost of these programs from the budget, when calculating health care reform savings.

1. Excellent question that I've heard nothing either way on.

Good luck on Monday.

2. Thanks, not worried

I think it's the spot in my boob where my grandson keeps elbowing me when he gets on and off my lap. lol. They weren't sure what they were looking at and just wanted to do a six month follow. The nicest part really is just to have some of these nagging things off your mind. I had both a mammogram and a sonogram, so odds are I'm in good shape.
