As Issra said, I agree that the first article on mammograms seem to be primarily concerned with the economics of the related issue. Evidently, the implications on less prevention exist, and I think this was a very serious issue that could have been taken up more. I was rather confused by why such a policy was passed in the first place. The last quote seems to suggest that law makers recommended less mammograms in order to save money in the health care system, which is a very depressing reason. I would have appreciated knowing more about that aspect.

The second article was clearer in that I can see both sides of the issue. However, I thought most of the reasons against not having compulsive vaccination to be rather ridiculous. That said, I have heard before that the vaccine can cause some individuals to pass out. Depending on what's around them, they might hit and hurt themselves. But I still think it's a "risk" worth taking?
