Could there be More Free Services for Women on the horizon? Lisa Zamowsky explains, "Access to free preventive health care is a centerpiece of the Affordable Care Act. Under the law, for nearly a year now, many with health insurance have been entitled to vaccinations, cancer screenings and annual check-ups, among other types of care, at no cost -- thanks to the requirement that new health insurance plans cover a list of preventative health services.

At the recommendation of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), part of the National Academy of Sciences, that list may soon grow for women." Follow the link to find out more about the eight new proposed services for women.

Do you think this is a good list? Would you add or remove any items?
