The financially-strapped California Department of Public Health temporarily banned new enrollments to the Every Women Counts program from Jan. until July 1. But it also upped the age to qualify for the program from 40 to 50. The changes are intended to reduce the number of mammogram recipients to 259,000 this fiscal year from last year's 311,000.
