Breast Cancer Survivors Tell Christie: We Are Not An Exception


If Chris Christie still feels it is OK to have "mandate-free" health insurance policies written in this state, than he needs to take a look at this latest video From the Corzine campaign.

In this video, Breast Cancer survivors speak out to tell Mr. Christie that mammograms and other forms of preventative procedures are not only necessary but essential in early detection and the prevention of not just Breast Cancer but all forms of cancer.



Two people that I would like to point out to anyone who watches this video are Monmouth County Freeholder Amy Mallet, who as a 19 year old was the victim of Breast Cancer and my wife Debbie, who completed her treatments of chemotherapy and radiatoin in June of this year.

Without mammograms and other proceedures being mandated as part of insurance policies here in the New Jersey, who's to say that Amy Mallet, my wife, or others in their situation would be here today to tell us their stories.

Thanks,

This is an issue that hits home and should not be taken lightly.

Access to quality, affordable healthcare is key to early detection and survival.
