So let me get this straight. The early diagnosis of a terrible form of cancer does not lead to a better outcome for survival? Ummm... Agenda please...

[fatnotlazy]

Every time I see a report like this, I become suspicious. Thanks to Obamacare, the number and frequency of certain tests have been reduced with the reasoning they are no longer needed. A report like this is the excuse the insurers need to stop paying. How many diseases will go undetected and ultimately prove fatal as a result?

Coffee is good, coffee is bad.
Wash, rinse, repeat.

I will say the females in this family do NOT do mammograms.

[oblomov]

You’re going to die anyway. Why try to stop it?

[no-to-illegals]

no ‘breast’ is safe from zer0care

[oblomov]

Why should anyone assume credibility for this type of observational study? It’s just based on data with no experimental design.

[FredZarguna]

Sounds like somebody doesn't want to pay for mammograms.

I got a sense of where this was headed in talking to my urologist, who told me the recommendation to insurers that PSA's were being overused was made by a board that had not a single urologist as a member.

So Sarah Palin was probably wrong after all. There aren't going to be any "death panels" because it isn't ever going to get to the point where a panel would even need to make a decision. That's going to be done by eliminating sensible diagnosis and remediation altogether.

Hey, the Pope's go-to guy on climate change says there are about six billion people too many. I'm sure our betters -- the politicians and the 0.01%'ers -- will do just fine.

[Tax-chick]

If cancer isn’t diagnosed until it’s too advanced to be worth treating, “the system” saves money.

[central_va]

In this corrupt world everything is the opposite of what our betters say. Get the check ladies.

[A Navy Vet]

Let's see how correct the "scientists" and "socialologists" have been:

Global cooling will bring another ice age;
Ozone layer is disappearing because of hairspray carbons and will cause massive destruction of the eco-system and millions of deaths;
Over-population will cause millions and millions of deaths;
Pesticides on apples will kill untold millions;
Nurture, not nature, is what make boys and girls different;
The arctic and antarctica are melting;
Polar bears are a dying species;
The Alaskan oil pipeline will kill the caribou;
Sea levels will rise and flood low lying shores and islands;
Climate change is caused by SUVs;
Egg yolks are bad;
Meat is bad;
Milk is bad;
Cheese is bad;
Jogging is good;
Wine has trace elements which are bad;
Sleeping more than 8 hours is bad;
Government exists to help;
The poor need more money;
Capitalism only benefits the rich;
Socialism works.
Any college degree gives opportunity in the workplace;
Illegal aliens are a benefit to our economy;

Need I go on?. Every point above has turned out wrong.

They already cut back on routine PSA testing for prostate cancer.

[minnesota_bound]

BS. The death panels want to divert the money into the insurance company ceo pocket and the politicians.

[CodeToad]

This is nothing but ObamaCare trying to cut costs by cutting health care.

Anyone that thinks detecting cancer early is useless is just a Luddite idiot.
