Personally, I've had cervical cancer when I was 27 & had a hysterectomy (back then getting pregnant when you're HIV+ was a no-no). Now, I'm approaching my 41st bday and haven't had an exam in over 6 years. Mainly due to my co-pay costs ($25 4 visit + $20 4 the test=$45). The cost in addition to what I already pay for healthcare on SSI is too much $$ 2 fork out a month ($300 in healthcare + co-pays). CDC needs to get on Medicare/Medicaid about this issue and the costs to patients.
