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.
EXACTLY! My thought today was.....oops....someone jumped the gun!
I have a liberal friend who has a strong family history of breast cancer and has been getting yearly mammograms since age 35; she is *not* happy with the “hope and change” recommendation of gov’t panels to end coverage for mammograms.
And this week marks the first time she’s been unhappy with Obama. (She loves taxes, socialism. . .)
I’m not surprised Obama is distancing himself from this. This is a big deal for my peers who are often kind of obsessed with breast cancer (I’m now 40).
And liberal women are his base. They are NOT happy with this, since they suspect, as we all do, that this is the first taste of the death panels. . .
