“Now, let’s remember that there was a time when those affected by breast cancer never could have imagined all these pink ribbons that would one day grace the White House, offices, storefronts, lapels. I don’t think they could have imagined some hulking NFL player decked out in pink cleats and pink gloves. I don’t think they could have imagined a day when so many people would wear jeans to raise money for a cure. I don’t think they could have imagined how many people would lace up their shoes to take part in walks and runs and races all across America…And it is my hope that if we pass health insurance reform, then 20 or 30 years from now, just imagine, our daughters and our granddaughters won’t be able to imagine a time when any woman in this country couldn’t get a mammogram because she couldn’t afford it.”
