A new report out today from a government task force called the Preventative Services Task Force says that chicas from ages 40-49 don't need to get mammograms and that self exams aren't necessary. Damn.....there goes one of my favorite (drunk) pick up lines. "Hey, I like your shirt. Uh, how about later I'll teach you how to do a breast exam?" We know these tests save lives I guess just not enough lives?? Think the American Cancer Society is pissed much about this?
"Breast cancer is most common form of cancer and the second leading cause
of cancer deaths in American women."
Somehow I smell a rat. Let's see there is this new universal health plan brewing where lots and 
lots of people who weren't covered before will be covered and looking to get some of these types of preventative tests they have been told to get but didn't because they couldn't afford it.......... Hmmmm......or would be easier if more people were just dead? See, maybe I've missed it. Cradle to grave care MIGHT really be cheaper if they can get you to reduce the number of births by paying for abortions on the front end and getting you to the grave quicker on the back end. I wonder if everyone knew Obama meant he would find savings in Medicare by just deciding that scores of preventative tests......just simply aren't needed?

Apparently, this little task force study influences coverage of screening tests by Medicare and many insurance companies. Really. Interesting timing, don't you think?
I wonder how Rachel Maddow will spin this one? Actually, I think Rachel just lost her best pick up line.
Me? Well, I finally can justify putting naked girls on my blog. Beevis and Butthead would be proud. It only took 252 posts.
Wait until TKC finds out the report doesn't even mention Hispanics.........racist too. :-)

Katty Kay (UK "journalist") was on Morning Joe today talking about the wonderful cost control system they have in the UK where women don't get breast exams till 50. She failed to mention, of course, the breast cancer death rate is much higher in the UK than in the US.
Death panels, anyone?
I didn't see it but YES...it is all about cost control and rationing.....and by the way I thought we weren't getting a Canadian or UK style health system. This isn't good at all.
I bet Obama hates that this is coming out now before he gets a chance to nationalize it. This isn't good pub and the right will exploit it.
It is your subtle jabs I always like the best. This is one of your best posts. You are right on it.
Why the naked girls. JE....only you. You are like a white conservative Tony with all the nearly naked chicks.
