This science, mammograms, saves lives. Don't listen to the government. Listen to the medical experts.

But with the gov’t taking over, the science will be based on the squeakiest wheels. Medical Policy is going to be determined by which special interest or minority screams the loudest.

It’s akin to claims of killing Big Bird every time someone wants to cut funding for PBS.

By the end, medicine will be governed by the same consensus as global warming. This is ridiculous.

My husband’s two sisters, both in 40’s with annual mammograms and no family history, were diagnosed with breast cancer within 8 weeks of each other. The goverment can kiss my fanny.

The American College of Radiologists can recommend whatever they want, but the American Preventive Services Task Force is the body that will be setting policy under Obamacare. The ACR can have all the science in the World on their side, but it just won't matter. The Not-A-Death-Panel has spoken, and their word is law.

And, just suppose that the American Preventive Services Task Force turns out to be unreasonable or tyrannical in their decrees... Well, thanks to the special rules (oh, excuse me, procedures) under the Reid Bill, Congress will not be able to do a damn thing about it. Any bill attempting to rein in this body will be declared Out of Order, in perpetuity, under the Reid Bill.

Nice, huh?
