Hi all - This is an interesting discussion. Unfortunately there are millions of people who don't understand the concept of preventive healthcare and don't schedule exams as needed. My personal health plan sends multiple reminder letters and provides gift cards to a major retailer as an incentive to get women to get their pap tests and mammograms. Those of us invested enough in our health to be EmpowHer members are likely to know what exams are needed and when, but others aren't as aware. I applaud CBS for these public service announcements which are an expense for them and the equivalent of making a donation to their viewers in order to better their health. Pat
