The California State Legislature approved a bill last week that would avert cuts to the state’s mammogram program, Every Woman Counts, a program aimed toward low-income, uninsured or poorly insured women.
The bill, awaiting Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s approval, will restore access to mammogram screening for 100,000 low-income, uninsured women. More than 1.2 million California women are eligible for the program, which kicked off in 1994.
