...and how long till we realize it was nothing but a slush fund for Obama like his green jobs money?
"The routine use of mammograms has led to more than 1 million women being unnecessarily treated for breast cancer over the past three decades, according to the latest scientific report to cast skepticism on the effectiveness of the test."
"Even before those findings, in November 2009, a key federal panel
revised its guidelines on mammograms to say that women should begin
regular screenings at age 50 rather than age 40, and then get the exam
every other year rather than annually."
"In 2010, lawmakers tweaked a mandate in the health-care law requiring
insurers to cover preventive services recommended by the task force free
of charge. The law specifies that when it comes to mammograms, insurers
must follow the task force’s old guidelines"
Why spend the money if we are just going to ignore the results?
