That is exactly what I said if you go back to my original post. The health care fund the Republicans want to abolish is the one that provides screening for cervical cancer and mammograms for poor women.

Yes, both sides want to freeze the student loan rate. The problem is where the money will come from.

Do you think it is best to take cervical cancer screening and mammograms from poor women or a few corporate fat cats who want another tax break?
