We know that preventive medicine is expensive. But if one of my family members had a cancer found due to mammography I cannot imagine their going to take a "wait and see" attitude. And that in a nutshell is the inherent conflict between public health and individual health and one of the many reasons for not putting the latter under the purview of the former. The flip side of the inherent conflict is when someone in a large group is identified with a virulent transmittable disease and the entire party is quarantined to prevent spread but condemns the entire quarantined group. Public health and individual health do not have the same goals. We must not forget that.
