Change in benefits targets vulnerable women

Today I get the wonderful news that in 2020 Medihelp will help keep costs down by reducing my benefits where I need them most. I am now only entitled to a mammogram every second year, and never mind that my gynaecologist recommends ANNUAL mammograms for me as I have had aunts who had breast cancer on both sides of the family. Let me point out to the MEN who take the decisions - a mammogram is not a luxury and no woman has one for fun. I actually feel like I can no longer rely on my medical aid and this news today has actually made me feel depressed and frightened. This is a disgrace and shows an utter lack of care for women in a very vulnerable position.
