Of course it sounds this way to you. Because ideologically, you can't accept that preventive treatment doesn't automatically improve outcomes, nor does it save money. It is what I've been trying to tell you for a long time.

I heard about this a few days ago on CNN...the study is bringing into question the effectiveness of PSA screenings...ie: the assumption that it does in fact detect prostate cancer early enough may be misplaced....doesn't mean that early detection does not improve survivability in most forms of cancer. Ovarian cancer is another beast altogether...it is lethal in most forms...a} because it is a deadly form of cancer..and b} because there are no effective early screens...I know about this from personal experience in my family.
