Ekuboneni kokuqala, izihloko zezindaba zibukeka zimbi empilweni yakho yokuzala: Izinga lomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho liyakhuphuka kubantu besifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-26. Eminyakeni emibili nje (kusukela ngo-2009 kuya ku-2011), ukuxilongwa komdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho kusanda kusuka kumaphesenti angama-68 kuye kwangama-84 iphesenti. Lezo izinombolo ezesabekayo.

Kepha ngokusho kwabaphenyi beAmerican Cancer Society, osanda kushicilela ucwaningo ngemiphumela ye-Affordable Care Act (ACA), lokhu empeleni kuhle into. Isho ukuthini? (Ungaphuthelwa lezi Zizinto Ezi-5 Okufanele Uzazi Ngaphambi Kwe-Pap Smear Yakho Elandelayo.)

Emzamweni wokuqonda imiphumela ebambekayo yoMthetho Wokunakekelwa Onganakekelwayo, abacwaningi basebenzisa i-National Cancer Data Base, indawo yokubhalisa esekelwe esibhedlela elandelela cishe amaphesenti angu-70 azo zonke izifo zomdlavuza e-United States. Phakathi nocwaningo lwabo, bathola ukuthi i-ACA ibe nomthelela obalulekile empilweni yokuzala yabesifazane abasha. Akukhona ukuthi abesifazane abaningi baphathwa umdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho, kodwa ukuthi siba ngcono ekuwubambeni ngaphambili. Ngakho-ke ukunyuka kwamazinga.

Lokhu yi ngempela into enhle, ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa abesifazane abangaphezu kuka-4,000 ababulawa yilesi sifo unyaka ngamunye. Ngenhlanhla, amazinga okufa kwehla uma usheshe uwuthole umdlavuza. Sikhuluma ngezinga lokusinda elingamaphesenti angama-93 uma ubamba umdlavuza ngokushesha uma kuqhathaniswa nezinga lokusinda elingamaphesenti angu-15 ezigulini zesigaba sesine.

Ngakho-ke i-ACA ihlangene ngani nalawa makhono okubona kusenesikhathi? Siyabonga umshuwalense wezempilo wabazali bakho. Kusukela ngo-2010, i-ACA yavumela abesifazane abangaphansi kweminyaka engama-26 ukuthi bahlale ezinhlelweni zomshuwalense wezempilo wabazali babo, okusho ukuthi iqembu okwakungakaze kuqinisekiswe ngokomlando (funda: lingavulelwe izinkinga ezesabekayo njengomdlavuza womlomo wesibeletho), manje selimboziwe ngalezo zikhathi ezibalulekile iminyaka yempilo yokuzala.

Lokhu kuwukuwina okukhulu kwabaphenyi abazama ukulandela imiphumela ebonakalayo yezempilo ye-ACA-ingasaphathwa eyokunqoba okukhulu kwempilo yakho yokuzala.
