Amy, I respect your concerns re women's health; however, the proper order of priorities is first to contain the terrorists who would like nothing more than to smuggle a weapon of mass destruction into USA. Terrorism must be the nation's primary focus for the next few yrs, or it will matter not the state of anyone's health. Americans become easily complacement. Don't be lulled into believing that we're safe from now on. In fact, the only reason there has not been another Sept 11-type attack is because Pres Bush DOES have his priorities in correct order. His creation of Homeland Security Dept and implementation of the Patriot Act have protected us. That's exactly why we need to keep him in ofc. Tremendous progress is being made in the War on Terror. Once the barbarians have been neutralized, we will have the luxury of focusing on domestic issues like education & health. Crucial event that needs to happen in order for your health concerns to ultimately be resolved, is the re-election of Pres Bush.

This country cannot be so exclusively focused on one thing, to the exclusion of the real killers. I wholeheartedly agree. The # 1 killer of women is heart attacks, yet it wasn't UNTIL THIS YEAR the AMA released for the very first time the symptoms for women heart attacks. ... Was the #1 killer of women heart attacks 30 years ago? The number one killer of ______ changes over time. Survivability for breast cancer has increased. The incidence of smoking men vs. smoking women has gotten closer over time. More women in the workplace [higher stress]. Medical advances and societal changes affects the number 1 cause. And here's another good one: it was until just THIS WEEK that researchers for the very FIRST time released information on hot flashes showing blood pressure dropped drastically while heart rate increased rapidly to compensate. That's very interesting. Though I don't know how many heart attacks occur during hot flashes. I recall that the #1 cause of occupational related deaths among women is "murder". That sucks. jttmab
