Thanks to federal programs, no woman in the U.S. has to go without having a regular Pap smear. The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program provides free or low cost Pap smears to eligible women across the country. Through this program, uninsured and impoverished women can receive Pap smears at local clinics and doctor's offices.

These programs and useless unless you are under the right conditions. I had a hysterectomy 4 years ago due to early cervical cancer from HPV. I was told to have a pap smear each year to keep a check on it. I also NOW am only 39. I have since lost my insurance and dont qualify for any of their programs. I am under 40 so I cant get any benefits and I dont have any plumbing so I dont fall into the family planning program. So I just have to sit here and HOPE nothing is wrong unless I can come up with 350 dollars to go to a gyno JUSt for a pap smear.
I know how those of you out there that feel the programs aren’t right for you feel. This is stupid that the criteria is for woman 40 and over, myself and a friend being in our 20’s and previous cervical cancer patients. I cannot get a free pap smear in Michigan. I am in debt with no insurance, but this state would rather see me dead or seriously in debt than prevent future cancer risks. I am pissed.
