      I know where Mr Rush gets his " medical care " and it doesn't take more than competency in dodging laws.

      Hmmmm, I didn't know that The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists was part of the government! I thought it was an association of Board Certified Physicians.

      Why do Rush and the other right-wing professional liars have such a big problem with this? What these new guidelines do is give private insurers more excuses to deny and reduce coverage for more frequent tests. More denials and less coverage means bigger profits for the private insurers that right-wing professional liars and Republicans pander to. What's not to like?

        Pete, it would take too much thinking to come to such a simple conclusion like that. That's why they have a problem.

      These guidelines issued concerning mammograms and cervical caner screening were written by the insurance lobby, who paid these doctors to put their names on these studies. The more the insurance industry can deny preventative treatment measures, the more money that they save. When a woman comes down with incurable Breast Cancer or Cervical Cancer because she could not be properly screened, the insurance company can claim it as a preexisting condition and can deny payment for treatment. These are true Death Panels.
