I know none of the systems are perfect, but we can do so much better. What is it, 15 yrs since Hillary Clinton tried to tackle it? And got slammed! Our current system is so inefficient when it IS working, I shudder to think about the poor souls outside of it.</p> <p>And I personally worry for my girlfriends who don't get screened regularly.</p> Thanks, Nick!
