In August I wrote an article The Government Is Not in the Business of Keeping You Healthy that concluded the government isn’t concerned about our health care, because if they were, they would include more preventive care to combat expensive health issues before they arise.
Today comes the news that new guidelines stating women should get mammograms starting at age 50 instead of age 40. This new recommendation came from the United States Preventive Services Task Force, chaired by Arizona State University Professor, Diana Pettiti, former field epidemiologist for the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and presently the Vice-Chair, United States Preventive Services Task Force.
What a perfect person to do the shilling for the U.S. government in saving the proposed new Obama proposed Health Plan money at the expense of young women’s lives.
According to the above New York Times article,
Congress (presently) requires Medicare to pay for annual mammograms. Medicare can change its rules to pay for less frequent tests if federal officials direct it to.
It doesn’t take much speculation to claim that this reduction in the number of women who should get mammograms comes at a time when Obama’s Health Plan was to cover it but now won’t have to. That’s 10’s of millions of dollars saved just because of the study done by someone who used to work for the CDC, the government organization that wants to vaccinate you because they know what’s best. They’re the ones along with the WHO that told you to get the Swine Flu Vaccine despite only 145 deaths worldwide.
But what do the statistics for women age 40 to 49 say about how many actually are at risk of getting breast cancer?
From the governments own, National Cancer Institute:
- from age 30 through age 39 . . . . . . 0.43 percent (often expressed as “1 in 233″)
- from age 40 through age 49 . . . . . . 1.44 percent (often expressed as “1 in 69″)
- from age 50 through age 59 . . . . . . 2.63 percent (often expressed as “1 in 38″)
- from age 60 through age 69 . . . . . . 3.65 percent (often expressed as “1 in 27″)
So to save a little money, our government will now decide that “1 in 69″ (age 40-49) women will get breast cancer is less important than “1 in 38″ (age 50-59). This is an example of what lengths government will go to in cutting costs. Yet to keep people from dying they’ll gladly have you pay for a Swine Flu vaccine. It hasn’t hurt the profits of the vaccine makers either.
Government is NOT in the business of keeping you healthy.
They would rather women age 40-49 get the disease and cost the system more dollars to take care of them and their cancer.
You see how backwards government can be? And people expect Obama’s Health Plan to make the system better?
Government is in charge of the railroads and has been since 1917. Has it improved since then? Ever see an Amtrak train zip by you at 300 mph?
Government is in charge of our schools yet millions drop out every year.
Government is the reason our higher education costs are so high.
Government run Post Office is facing a $7 billion loss this year.
Government runs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and that has already cost taxpayers $111 billion and Fannie Mae lost $19 billion last quarter and is asking Congress for $15 billion more.
The public says that health care is not governments responsibility.
What makes one think it is and what degree of confidence do they have in its success when the government has the above kind of track record?

If you want the government to control your health care, do nothing. If you don’t want government to control your health care because you realize that it will cost you more in the long run, then Tell Congress To Support the Health Freedom Plan: http://www.operationhealthfreedom.com/ Please do it now.
