Rise in Early Cervical Cancer Detection Is Linked to OBAMACARE

2. Did recommendations change for how often women should get pap tests?

I used to get them annually, but the last doctor I had said every 3 years. That seemed kind of weird to me. I recently learned that someone I went to high school died of cervical cancer at the age of 30. I would think decreasing the frequency of the pap test would result in more cases of cervical cancer being found in late stages versus early stages, but then again I'm not an oncologist. Perhaps it takes a long damn time for this cancer to take hold and progress. Has anyone else been told this or know anything about why the doctor would say every 3 years? I am in my mid thirties by the way. I'm thinking I might just get them annually anyway. I have insurance that would cover it, so I don't understand where the recommendation is coming from.
