Obama And Crew Backing Away From U.S. Preventive Services Task Force

Uh, forget what they said.

Hey folks,

This is just to funny. Time to translate what you just saw yesterday. It really is simple. They attempted to set new guidelines. You found out WHY. I and many others were RIGHT. They are attempting another redo. "Forget what we said. We didn't mean for you to be smart enough to figure, uh, I mean, we did not mean what you interpreted it meaning what it means. I, uh, mean, uh, of course we care about Women. We would never, uh, outright say we, uh, no, uh, WAIT! These are nobodies. Uh, Yeah, this is not Obama. They do not speak for him or his Administration. So, just never mind."

{Laughing} I'm not kidding folks. Obama and Crew's "U.S. Preventive Services Task Force," DID say,

--Most women in their 40s should not routinely get mammograms.

--Women 50 to 74 should get a mammogram every other year until they turn 75, after which the risks and benefits are unknown. (The task force's previous guidelines had no upper limit and called for exams every year or two.)

--The value of breast exams by doctors is unknown. And breast self-exams are of no value.

--Medical groups such as the cancer society have been backing off promoting breast self-exams in recent years because of scant evidence of their effectiveness. Decades ago, the practice was so heavily promoted that organizations distributed cards that could be hung in the shower demonstrating the circular motion women should use to feel for lumps in their breasts.


As I pointed out to you on Tuesday morning Reckless And A Sign of Things To Come With Obamacare Then EVERY Talk Show from Rush to Hannity, Sullivan to Savage, talked about the same thing. All we did was tell you the truth.

A Government panel of Doctors and Scientists put together by Obama and Crew, concluded that getting Mammograms as early as Forty often leads to "too many false alarms and unneeded biopsies without substantially improving Women's odds of survival."

That's right folks. Unneeded tests. These test cost money you know. They want our Mothers, Daughters, and Sisters, to wait until age Fifty. Then they recommend they only get them every two years. The Mammograms that is.

Self Breast exams? Forget it. It does nothing. It just works you up if you think you find something. Of course, if you stupid Women think you find a lump, then the next thing you know, you will be asking for those expensive tests.


It's called Rationing Care. It IS Sings of things to come with Obamacare. All about the money and NOT Health. Cost will be the model that will decide who lives and who dies. Obama SAID SO!

But again, they tried to do this, figuring you were to stupid to figure it out. In the face of DECADES of History and REAL Science, they figured you would just accept whatever they tell you because they are smarter than you. They were wrong as usual. So now Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius came out and said, never mind.

I just posted the actual Press Release, but let's look at this for a second.

“There is no question that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Recommendations have caused a great deal of confusion and worry among women and their families across this country. I want to address that confusion head on. The U.S. Preventive Task Force is an outside independent panel of doctors and scientists who make recommendations. They do not set federal policy and they don’t determine what services are covered by the federal government."

You think this caused confusion? Not really. It did cause ANGER. Oh, and by the way, The task force, IS a panel of "Experts," which IS funded and appointed by the Government of the United States. Which MEANS, they will say whatever they are TOLD to say.

“There has been debate in this country for years about the age at which routine screening mammograms should begin, and how often they should be given."

No. It has pretty much remained the same for Decades. I love this one though. They tell us there is a consensus about Global Warming, yet a raging debate about THIS?

"The Task Force has presented some new evidence for consideration but our policies remain unchanged." {For NOW} Indeed, I would be very surprised if any private insurance company changed its mammography coverage decisions as a result of this action."

Until they have no choice.

“What is clear is that there is a great need for more evidence, more research and more scientific innovation to help women prevent, detect, and fight breast cancer, the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women."

That is the OPPOSITE of what the GOVERNMENT Panel JUST SAID. They just said there is no value. Literately.

“My message to women is simple. Mammograms have always been an important life-saving tool in the fight against breast cancer and they still are today. Keep doing what you have been doing for years -- talk to your doctor about your individual history, ask questions, and make the decision that is right for you.”

Until the Government passes Obamacare and THEY make those decisions. Folks. I maintain this IS signs of things to come. They HAVE to back off now, because you still have a CHOICE. Once that Choice is removed, you will have no place else to go. Then they will be free to dictate to you what is and is not beneficial to YOU and the Country. It will be things JUST LIKE THIS. It will be determined based on cost. Do NOT be fooled folks. Do not be fooled. Look at what is right in front of you, then ask yourself, is THIS what I really want?
