Healthcare; And after? no test for prostate until they swell twice their size? not test for cancer? admitted to the hospital?
WASHINGTON - First mammograms. Now - in an apparent coincidence - Pap smear.
New guidelines by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said most women in their 20s can have a Pap test every two years instead of every year to be slow-growing cancer of the cervix.
Well .... swollen twice the size would save the ...., um Perma grin Viagra Companys pharmasuitical apparently does not make enough money out of mamograms while they promote prozac, ect. And H1N1 vaccines ....
Why Obama was elected:
Because he is black. Because it is a good, Silver Tongued Devil. Because he is deceived and mislead the American people. He ignored all the campaign promises and never will. Obama has absolutely, undeniably proved himself to be a Markist.
I am an independent voter. Shame, Shame, Shame be to anyone who votes for Obama in 2012!
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists is not the government.
Get a clue.
Probably because of pressue from insurance companies.
This is another example of the admin last to keep women as second class citizens. and you do not think there is a good old boys network. tsk tsk
The Democratic Health Plan:
Die quickly!
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
ACOG is a private organization and we know how Republicans love the private sector.
This is the problem of health care financed by the government ... Once people accept that the government should pay for any part of their health care, they just expect them to pay for every aspect of their health care. It's a slippery slope, and we're already at the slide.
Recommendations of this kind ... which is what it is ... have been underway for years. They are based on studies of effectiveness of procedures and treatments. Statistically, the benefits of mammography have (for example) is before age 50 does not support the cost and even the potential risk of the test ... or procedures followed ... just testing that may or may not be necessary because of false positives (which often happens with mammograms).
But even then, because they are recommendations, the physician and the patient still have the right to take the test performed. Whether it will be covered by this bill ... who knows?
I see ... if medical science is just when its convenient for you?
The USPSTF has issued recommendations for breast cancer was launched in 1984 with its current members, put on over 7 years.
For two years, the American College of Physicians and the National Research Center for Women & Families and their prevention and treatment of cancer of the Fund have advocated delaying mammograms until age 50.
You are also aware that mammography is an X-ray, and that overexposure to ionizing radiation can increase your chances of developing cancer, right?
You know ... the organization that the new recommendations of the Pap test is in fact the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ... and does not include women who smoke, have multiple sexual partners, or are at risk of ovarian cancer.
The average age of diagnosis of cervical cancer is 45. frequency should increase the closer that number. When you're in your 20's, it is fair to say that if you have a normal Pap test, it will not be any significant changes in 2 years. As we age, we become more at risk of cervical cancer, as well as the frequency increases.
This is not new and it has nothing to do with the government. They are recommendations based on a series of clues.
