Change!… 20 States Cut Mammograms After Government Report Released
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, December 14, 2009, 6:23 PM
This won’t end well.
A full 20 states have now cut funding for mammogram screenings for low income women after a government task force last month made its recommendations that women in their 40s should stop routinely having annual mammograms.

Just a glimpse of the future for everyone. Hope and change at work. Of course, this won’t apply to those in congress and such. They are much too important.
down with dems commented:
Remeber the CYA attempts after the report was originally released? “Oh this government task force won’t be determining health coverage or policy, certainly not, nothing to be worried about” … sounds a lot like “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”.
It didn’t take long for this to happen, did it?

“The national debt currently accounts for 53 percent of GDP, up from 41 percent a year ago.” Reuters
However, as Bozo we can collapse the economy by 2012 and blame it on Bush — this will send the world markets crashing and the world will spin out of control. That is to say if my name is not Bozo the Sissy Raging Masssiah Clown.
Did you know that I prefer dictatorships that ‘we the people’ type of governing?

America is becoming more and more like Canada and UK… Disgraceful!!

After preaching for 30 yrs the importance of yearly mammograms for early cancer detection, this obvious money grubbing “change” will not be accepted by any but the most heinous Obama a$$ kissers. Think female Congress members will be denied mammograms? That’s just for the peons, the little people. You know, the people that are going to vote them out of office next year. This elitist baloney is going to come to a schreeching halt, SOON.

Is it true that Obama made this B+ statement without being asked?
Palinfan commented:
This is where Democrat-led healthcare is going – to B+ territory!

I am willing to sacrifice for the good of all woman-kind and give breast exams to any woman who needs them. 18-80, blind, crippled or crazy.

Laughs at the feminists who voted for the Democrats.
LytnUp commented:
I have heard that grade inflation was a problem.
curiozities commented:
When more women start inevitably (and needlessly and tragically) dying of breast cancer, they will tell us with a straight face that the government needs to control health care so they can reduce breast cancer.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Europe and its lower breast cancer survival rates, here we come!!!

Now you begin to understand ‘healthcare justice’ grasshopper.
Rates right up there with ‘social justice’ and ‘economic justice’.

As a good friend to a woman who found cancer (by way of mammogram) in her mid 20′s, I am at a loss for words. I don’t even know where to begin on this one (and that seldom happens).

I lost my Mother to breast cancer. In this day and age, it will be a shame to lose more women because of fewer screenings. Obama just doesn’t really care about women, he’s a muslim.

To find the truth, watch what they do not what they say.

Insight into the thought process of the Democrat Party. Thanks America for giving these sociopaths a super majority.
Why Democrats push health care, even if it kills them

They’re already working on the next method of rationing. Last night, a TV news program documented how CT scans are risky, exposing patients to radiation that might cause cancer. They implied that the benefits might not outweigh the risks.
Coming soon: ObamaCare that saves money by refusing CT scans to inconvenient people, namely those who don’t score well on the Complete Lives System. Their lives WILL be complete.
Old One commented:
What irony. It was a large majority of women voting for Obozo in 2008 that elected him and now he and his evil Dr. Mengele Emmanuel and troops are busy sticking it to the women who willingly imbibed his kool-aid. Hey ladies it was those evil sexist white male voters who most strongly opposed The Won.
