"The recommendation about breast cancer screening for women 40 to 49 did not say what the task force meant to say. The task force communication was poor," insisted Dr. Diana Petitti with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.

 

Yeah, poor communication. Sure. Did not say what we meant. Yep.

6 This is like being current on you car payments, and having them repossess your car anyway, and then give you a Yugo at even higher payments. That is just wrong.

No, they seem more to impress other women than anything else. Kinda like painting your toenails or nails. I have never looked at a girls nails or toenails and thought complimented them in my head. The words might come outa my mouth if I am trying to get some but trust me no guy means them. It is one of those cheesy pick up book lines where you are trying to compliment a hard or little noticed feature to show you "care".

11 Ack, sockpuppet off. Anway, collagen lips are just nuts.

12
Oh,nevermind

13 "......and provide strong support for favored groups."  

I already do that for groups of two.

14 As former Bush economic adviser Keith Hennessey points out at the link, this is a government mandate that puts government bureaucrats in charge of what is covered and eliminates any consumer choice.

He's lying.  Obama told us that all decisions would be made by me and my doctor and I believe everything he says.

15 A federal panel wants to cut costs and care while another part of government is going to react to political pressures and provide strong support for favored groups.

This is the prime reason why government should have no say in any of this and should be removed from ALL health care.

If you really want to see how this plays out in the long term all you have to do is look at the Soviet Union. The Communist Party apparatchiks got the best medical care using Western drugs and good doctors.

Everyone else got the quacks and the watered down drugs manufactured by the drunk prolls who were paid no matter what they did.

Folks, this is where we are headed in the long term.

16 Let us not forget that Obama promised Billions in savings by early diagnosis, ie, preventative medicine. More BS from the teleprompter.

17 Yeah, I'm sorry, too.

18

Maybe the government should take care of their actual, uh, you know constitutional responsibilities first.

21

There sure is a lot of talk about "panels." Telling people they can't get screened. Might lead to death....

 

Holy shit, that Palin lady was right! Death panels. She called it. Make her President now, please!!

It looks like Holders number two man at the Justice Dept David Ogden just resigned for unclear reasons.My guess,he's getting off the train before it wrecks.

23 Some things are just too complex to fit into a government template. That's what this is really.. a template for health-care; hence "Universal". The combination's of people are too great to shove them into templates. The ONLY balance is personal choice. But choice is not what government provides. Eff'em all..

24 If any of you Moronettes need a breast exam, I'm available.

25 I said this when it came up before...Screenings save LIVES not money!!

They COST money because only a small handful will test positive but they will potentially be saved while the money will be spent on all who receive the tests.

The Gubmint WILL screw this up, guaranteed.

26 Speaking of boobs...

You have GOT to see Newsweek's review of "The Princess and the Frog."  Quoth the liberal:

By the time this is finished, it will be 100,000 pages,187 Fed agencies, and 412,00 lobbyists.

So, you're a trans-testical? Now ya gotta kick in to "save the ta-tas" and the "cold fist in the ass anti-prostate club"

So, your a trans-testical midget? Now you've gotta do the "walk for shin extensions" on saturday, donate to save the ta-tas" and the "cold fist in the ass, antiprostate club"

So, you're a near sighted, midget, transtestical...

29

And let us not forget, sex change operations must be covered as well, for my pre-op transgendered constiuents.

Gee, this special-interest politicization of health-care is FUN!

30

What should be scary about this whole thing is not simply that this panel put this out as a potential excuse for cutting back on mammograms for those on govt insurance, but the fact they would retract it at the behest of the government.

 

It destroys the arguement of those who said this study was purely scientific in nature. It was clearly political, otherwise they wouldn't back off so easily something that is scientifically sound.

 

Also, I've figured out a way that the government will be able to save trillions. Put out a "medical" study that shows men touching themselves at night causes major diseases(cancer, heart disease, etc), therefore if you touch yourself you will not be covered by the government plan. Voila you just took 49% of the population off the gov't healthcare dole and cut costs drastically.

Newsweek is such a shit-rag, I walk through our lab's library every day and I see it on a rack, great covers with Biden "A Force to Be Reckoned With", Gore "A Thinking Man's Thinker" and then Palin "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah?".

42

"The recommendation about breast cancer screening for women 40 to 49 did not say what the task force meant to say

 

Laugh out loud funny. I watched the chairwoman of the task force say "we recommended what the data told us" on live television at least 10 times.

 

 

43 Good Lord that little dyke troll Mikulski really gets it done, doesn't she?

I used to live around the corner from her in the '90s, what a flaming bitch she is!

44 It was clearly political, otherwise they wouldn't back off so easily something that is scientifically sound.

Time to get the federal government out of science altogether, except for military and defense applications.

The Founders were very interested in science and technology, but you'll notice the only power they gave the federal government to "promote Science and the useful Arts" was to guard the intellectual property rights of scientists and inventors.

45 Watch Susan G. Koman group wiggle around this latest statemnet. They were so afraid to confront the earlier recommendations as BS so now I guess we can expect a "yeah, we were just about to say that".

46 so the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is another name for an "Itty Bitty Petitti Committee"?

47 I believe CSPAN2 showed that her amendment passed a few minutes ago.

That is the way this whole bill will go.  Everyone will get an amendment and a little bit of cover.  The common refrain will be "no I didn't like the bill and it is not perfect, but it is the best we can do.  That is why I voted for it."

This is why there should be no excuses accepted for those traitor assholes who said they were against it but were only voting for "debate".

When this thing went to the floor it meant we were going to get "something". Over time that something will morph into nationalization of all health care in the U.S. Depend on that.

And if you think the Repiblicans will be able to repeal it later I have have a timeshare in Florida I'll sell you cheap.

(First you have to assume a majority of the R's want to repeal it).

48 Now they're voting on the Mulkowski Amendment which instructs the HHS secretary not to follow the recommendations of this task force. The vote is over. And, it failed.

My ex-wife had that done to her lips and it definately didn't enhance her looks.  She even regretted having it done after she had to look at herself in the mirror everyday.  The sad thing was my ex had beautiful lips to begin with. I couldn't wait for it to wear-off.  It seemed like it took forever. JMHO.

68 I'm sorry, but anyone who relies on gubmint recommendations to inform their healthcare decisions deserves exactly what they get. 

69 Ya know, the whole breast exam thing is overrated. Have any of you ever had your titty in a mammogram machine? It hurts!

I'm safe in believing that this is how normal everday operations of the US Government health care system, staffed by Obama's voters, would work.

Bad advice, based on lack of evidence, with lots of laziness and bureaucratic horseshit...plus a good dose of old fashioned weird Marxism.

Right out of 1984. Here it comes.

We're nothing if not compliant.

72

Anyone else remember what that dumb ass website was where the 52% would hold up little signs in front of their computers?

73 The science is not at all "settled" by the panel's evaluation. The reccomendation was based on six less than robust mathematical models, with data cohorts that diluted mortality benefit . For reasons that remain unexplained, the panel excluded Swedish reseach of live populations showing a much greater mortality benefit, established age 50 as a sort of "magic" age, though there is no scientific basis even in their own figures for doing so.

90 87

I have health insurance and the extra copay for emergency room visits already keeps me from abusing it for scrapes and coughs. So the pay out of pocket system  works just fine.

91 So, if a 25-year old man wants a mammogram, should he get one if it is paid by:
himself, an insurance company, or the taxpayers?

Does a doctor think there might be a tumor growing his breast, based on an exam, family history, and other risk factors or tests?

(It is possible for men to get breast cancer, and some die from it.  It's not common, and popular celebrities don't care about saving the moobs, but it does happen.)

92 I have low-cost, high-deductible insurance that doesn't pay for mammograms. That suits me fine; I budget for things like predictable annual tests that seem like a good idea. It also means I make up my own mind about how often to get a mammogram, after considering my family history and population studies about the costs vs. benefits. So I was one of the few people in this country able to hear the federal task force's recommendations and consider them calmly. See how simple it can be when patients buy their own routine health care?

93 You call it rationing, we call it thinning the herd. Teehee.

94 Petitti said, "We need to immediately figure out how to get that statement off the website."

HTML is your friend. 

95 From a cost/benefit analysis, you could kill every last man, woman and child for much less money than maintaining a health system.

The next obvious step is to ask, "yes, but where do we fall in between."

The only correct answer to that being, "no, where do each of us, on our own, fall in between."

96 It's none of the Gov.'s business what a woman does for her healthcare, simple as that! I could list hundreds of things on the subject of healthcare that is not the business of Gov.

97 So we're supposed to believe it took them this long to realize that they had mis-communicated this?  With the shit hitting the fan like it did, they would have issued a clarification within hours.
What took two weeks was for our hard-working Senate to get their polling figures back, then place the call to the panel telling them they better find a way to unmake this recommendation because the rubes got the news about it becoming the law.
And once this panel becomes the Official Death Panel, the recommendation will return in some superficially less offensive form.

Mallamutt,

My reaction was the same.  I'm not sure what part of that was worse; the idea that the movie was timely due to the 1st family's ethic make up or the idea that the Obama girls are "princesses."  Somebody ought to inform Newsweek that there was a big kerfuffle back in the 18th century that pretty much  ended the idea of royalty in these parts.

In fact, now that I think about it, there's no such thing as an African-American princess.

117 imagine if every person, able to pay out of pocket, who had a headache or stubbed a toe or sprained an ankle or had an "owie" went to an emergency room and demanded immediate treatment ...

We're back in the black baby!

118 Ever notice when lying politicians step in it, they always back off with the phrase about "mis-communication"?  And here all this time I thought that 'communication' was the hallmark of a politician.
