Representative Wasserman Schultz Launches Breast Cancer Prevention Bill
"According to a press release from Wasserman Schultz's office, the Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young Act (EARLY Act) "directs the Centers for Disease Control to develop and implement a national education campaign to increase awareness of the threats posed by breast cancer in young women of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and the particular heightened risks faced by certain groups."
Breast cancer is a continuously growing problem among women not only in the U.S. but all over the world as well. The only way to decrease the amount of women diagnosed with breast cancer is to detect it early. Some may argue that this article may not pertain to government class, however, I think to have a healthy economy and democracy we must first have healthy people running it. Millions are diagnosed and killed every day by breast cancer and anything that can be done to prevent it should be done.

I think people should be more aware of breast cancer. It is a growing problem and it has happened to a lot of people in my family and I have a risk of getting it. I think there needs to be more done to protect it and treat and people need to be tested earlier.
