Interesting how in the period preceding the health care debate, we were told over and over again that millions of Americans didn’t receive adequate health care.

Now we’re being told that we receive too much. I guess this is to prepare us for the inevitable rationing.

they reduced the age when mammograms and cervical exams should be given... in order to reduce costs the government would have to pay.

Truth is that both under-servicing and over-servicing are happening.

Often people are given too much care; i.e. too many people running immediately to the doctor for a runny nose because their employer pays for the care, so why not?

But just as often people don't receive personalized care for their real needs.

This is because health care is NOT consumer-driven. When the consumer is in the driver's seat doctors and hospitals provide efficient service, not over-servicing and/or under-servicing. But our health care has been controlled by employers and Gov't for years.
