“when the government can’t do what it has promised, ie it can’t provide the service it has promised, suddenly they are telling you that you don’t really need the service or worse that it would be bad for you. The advice is not based on science but rather on their own inability to do their job and their desire to cover that up.”
YES... this! Remember recently when they wanted to stop PSA tests, mammograms? The “problem” was that people discovered things early and wanted treatment. So they floated that it wasn’t helpful and the testing for both should be much more rare.
Exactly. And that is just one example. The entire managed healthcare system is based on the notion that doctors should do as little as possible to help their patients because healthcare is expensive.
