>> OF COURSE mammograms will result in many false positives. Yes. But what the Obamacare supporters don't want to meet head on is that the easiest way to save money on health care is to simply let people die. Part of the propaganda war was liberals telling us the secret to reducing cost was screening and early detection of small problems before they become big problems. Remember all that? The truth is that it is far cheaper just to let people die. So, someone gets Ovarian cancer? That Avastin is too damned expensive. Only extends life on average by 5 months. You want to save money? Let 'em die. (My cousin's wife, though, who was given months to live several years ago, before going on Avastin, is now going into her second year cancer free). So, we have Zeke Emanuel telling us living over 75 years is a waste. We have screenings for some cancers -- which the US has always led the world in treating, btw -- now being discouraged. Because we might find out too early. And it is a matter of time before they begin to encourage parents of premature babies to "let them go". Because they are crazy expensive to take care of. And, you know, they may end up with four right toes. I'm really sick of these idiots, to tell the truth.
