    How is women's health in the U.S.

    The United States isn't making the grade when it comes to women's health, a new report contends. The report gives the country an overall grade of "unsatisfactory" because it meets only three of 27 benchmarks for women's health. Those benchmarks are the percentage of women aged 40 and over who get regular mammograms; the percentage of women who visit their dentist annually; and the percentage of women aged 50 and over who are screened for colorectal cancer. Not one state received an overall "satisfactory" grade in the area of women's health.
