In America the age for such screenings for women and men have been raised like 10-15 years.

The masters want people dying (and the estates surrendered to the State for more public welfare).

My older sister (she’s dead now) actually thought that should happen. No inheritance, all the $$ goes to the government. We were raised in the same house, too. I can’t figure out why she thought that way.

To be fair, independent peer reviewed medical studies don’t show clear benefit to mammography despite it’s hype. The latest research shows that mammograms often detect things that aren’t cancer and miss cancers that are actually there. It’s not actually always about money. The problem is especially difficult in premenopausal women because breast tissue is dense when you are young making it very difficult to interpret the films. These same women are unfortunately the ones who have usually inherited the BRCA gene making their cancers more aggressive and more likely to be fatal. It will be very difficult to prove that mammography would have saved these women. The bigger issue is the medical communities continued peddling of hormonal birth control mentors that significantly increase a woman’s chance of developing breast cancer. Yet physicians and mid-level practitioners never mention this risk to patients.. add in binge alcohol use and obesity among young women with the BRCA gene and mammography isn’t going to save you.
