Thank you @RepRoKhanna

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

It is unconscionable that Americans are going into medical debt to get cancer treatment while Big Pharma makes huge profits.

We need Medicare for All and to cancel medical debt.

LADIES, have you gotten your pap smear? A pap smear is the primary way to test for cervical cancer. A pap smear takes 10-20 minutes while the impact of cervical cancer lasts a lifetime. #papsmear #CervicalCancer #CervicalHealthAwarenessMonth #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth

[Health in Her HUE ™ @HealthInHerHue]

January is #CervicalCancerAwarenessMonth and a great time to do some preventative care! This looks like:

1. Completing your HPV Vaccine series
2. Scheduling your pap smear and HPV tests
3. Encouraging your friends + fam to do the same!
