Yesterday, a federal panel decided that self-exams and some mammograms are no longer necessary for women in their forties and should only be administered every other year for those in their fifties and sixties. Despite being said to reduce cancer deaths by about 15% in women ages 39-59, the federal panel based their decision to change the guidelines because they concluded too much money was spent on “unnecessary tests.”
Sound familiar? That’s probably because it’s the same rationale for many of the decisions made by the government rationing...
Rationing: Mammograms Too Expensive?
Unfortunately, ObamaControl will put charitable endeavors right out of business as a condition of its existence. If you're forced to go onto a Govt plan, Susan Komen can do nothing to help, because it would be neither approved or covered by the govt. Recall the fact that the SHHS will decide what a 'qualified' plan is. Not even the 'poor' will have the option of private charity.
If insurance was as available across state lines as Geico and Progressive car insurance is (to give one example), only covered the catastrophic, instead of the routine, not only would insurance be less expensive but so too would many of the procedures themselves, as many doctors will charge less if you pay cash.
