It may be the government recommending this change, but it is the money of the insurance companies that is talking. I know this from personal experience because during the last 1 1/2 years, I have had chemotherapy, radiation and extensive surgery to save my life from a cancer that should have been found by my doctor. I received the "everything is normal" letter from my doctor and the hospital radiologist every year, but when I picked up my mammography records to take to the breast surgeon after a cancer positive biopsy, I read the reports which said that beginning in 2004 my breasts had become so dense that mammograms were difficult to read and that I had calcifications. I had made a special appointment in 2005 because I felt a tiny lump in that part of my breast but was unable to find it either at the examination or a couple of days before. When I saw my doctor, she dismissed it as a cyst that had disappeared. She never told me that I was entitled to an MRI because my mother had breast cancer. It takes money in terms of staff time for doctors to justify expensive procedures to money minded insurance companies, and some medical professionals are too concerned about their bottom lines to look out for their patients. Incidentally, my oncologist told me that I had had the cancer for at least 6 to 8 years. Guess it was hiding in those murky mammograms. The cost of only one MRI (which definitely showed my cancer) was just a few hundred dollars more than one of the Neulasta shots I was given during chemotherapy to bring my white cells back up after an infusion. Our insurance, which is shared by many people in WV, only paid a percentage of my chemo. If we hadn't had a secondary one to pick up the rest, we would have owed thousands of dollars. Many people aren't as blessed as I was and lose everything because of hospital bills. WE NEED GOVERNMENT INSURANCE! Everyone's life is important not just that of the insurance companies' executives.

First mammograms now pap smears. This is just the beginning of government rationing. This is the beginning of the death panels. We are in big big trouble. The rich will get good health care because they will be able to pay for it , the rest of us will be left to die . Obamacare... Is this the change we voted for ???
