Week 3 Readings

The first article was a little vague, in that it didn't make a clear point. I wasn't sure why less mammograms were needed, and I wasn't sure if the insurance didn't cover health insurance, or if these "at-risk" women simply didn't have insurance at all. However, it is a concern that policy-makers are trying to save money on such a serious disease as breast cancer. The second article was much more coherent. I think it is great that they are trying to protect as many young women as possible. However, the article did not address the health risks tied to the vaccine, which lead many parents to be wary about administering it to their daughters (but there are health risks tied to every vaccine, I suppose).
