Has anyone noticed the socialists back down whenever the feel the wrath of the people? That’s a cue we should turn up the heat on all their socialist ideas.

It was just bad timing. They don’t want to be discussing mammogram rationing until after the health bill has been passed.

They especially don’t want to scare off women voters, who were among Obama’s most enthusiastic supporters last November.

A top federal health official said Wednesday that the controversial new guidelines for breast cancer screening do not represent government policy, as the Obama administration sought to keep the debate over mammograms from undermining the prospects for health-care reform.

Let's not unveil our death panels until after health-care reform is passed.

she stressed that they were issued by "an outside independent panel of doctors and scientists who . . . do not set federal policy and . . . don't determine what services are covered by the federal government."

It was her d*mn department that set this "independent panel" up. Liar, liar, pants on fire, Sibelius.

The principle of rationing has been demonstrated. The White House can’t really back off from that.

Doublespeak at its’ finest. The panel is independent, but it was hired by the government to do the study, but the government sponsored study doesn’t represent the government. Whaaaat?

Maybe someone in my Congressional District 00, or 99, or 69 office can clarify her answers. LOL

They will back off anything we want them to until they get control of healthcare, healthcare workers all belong to SEIU etc. and then just watch what they decide is adequate healthcare for us peons.

Yep, they probably were intending to use the panel's guidelines as basis for a policy change/cost savings in BC screening, and now may not adopt it straightaway. But they'll just shift ration-focus and cut elsewhere--with less fanfare. Always watch for cost shifting, but it's hard to monitor when this business is typically conducted behind closed doors, with a bulletin being released to those who need to know. And as such most guideline changes do not receive such immediate public scrutiny, with only providers and HC administrators privy to it, and I expect they've learned their lesson here.

And it is especially ironic to me that one of the main points of emphasis of Obamacare during the campaign was the enormous savings to be realized by stepping up preventive care. They'd look awfully dishonest if they renege on it in such a visible and blatant about-face in their propounded public health policy right out of the gate.

It’s incredible, whenever the light of truth is turned on any aspect of the Health Care nightmare bill, then all of a sudden the RATs scurry away from the provision and simply cry & whine that “this was only some independent panel” and not part of the health care plan. Same thing happened with the death care panels (no there are not really any such things as death care panels, when in fact there were) or abortion, or limits on Medicare, and the list goes on & on.

Shhhhhhh, Who is the stupid idiot who leaked this before we pass the bill, it was supposed to be put out directly after so that the sheeple would have time to get used to the idea before it took effect.

"do not set federal policy and . . . don't determine what services are covered by the federal government."

Just a question,are there services now determined by the federal government?

A little foreshadowing perhaps?

I was trying to explain to my wife how this was Obama driven, cutting costs by cutting testing.

Then this announcement from Sebelius. LMAO, confirmation! Bingo!

Sebelius's statement challenged the recommendations of that influential panel, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, made up of independent experts assembled by her department to address one of the most explosive issues in women's health.

These people would sell out their own mothers, so why not the women of the U.S.? We just have to make sure women are aware of who drove this. When they vote in November of 2010, they damned well better remember who drove this.
