Strike Two
First of all, a clarification. A couple of weeks ago, I complained that the American Cancer Society was backing down on their suggestion that men have a prostate cancer test every year. I was wrong. The instructions were correct but the organization was the U. S. Preventative Services Task Force, a panel which is part of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services.
Now, this same group is telling women that they can wait until 50 to have mamms and only have them every two years. Next they will be telling women to have only have pap smears every three years. I know many of you didn't agree with me, but I still think these changes are meant to change thinking so that when a National Health Plan is passed, we Seniors will cost them less money. After all, they have to keep their promise to cut Medicare spending so that they can pay for this health monster they are creating.
