The five-year survival rates for all forms of breast cancer in the US is 85 per cent. However in the UK with their socialized medicine system five year survival is under 74 per cent. In the UK their socialized medicine system allows mammograms every three years and don't start until age 50 compared to annual mammograms starting at age 40 in the US. If the breast cancer is caught early (stage 1) an American woman has a 97 per cent chance of being alive five years after diagnosis. In Britain with their socialized medicine system, five year survival for stage 1 breast cancer is only 78 per cent.
I fear these studies will be used by Obamacare bean counters to stop annual mammograms by saying see it doesn't make any difference in this large study, but ignore the details and the very high rates of survival and early rates of detection under our current system.
They have already cut Bone Density to every 2 yrs and men’s PSA’s too.
