Ripley’s stage sequential model is used to analyze the disparity in the Medicare reimbursement for screening mammography for older women in the United States. The article presents a historical review of the policy issue and suggests solutions to set the agenda for policy change. Problem identification, costs, and ethical and social issues are evaluated, and policy change is recommended.
