The Government's Healthcare System and New Testing Guidelines

Is it me or does anyone else wonder what impact the passage of the new government healthcare agenda has to do with the new guidelines for mamograms and cervical cancer screenings? It seems this thing is no sooner through the House than the guidelines for cancer screenings for women has changed. Ask yourself this, if these things are changing this quickly, what else will be changing if this atrocity passes the Senate?

Let's realize that the insurance companies will take any way out they can to save money. They are already more in control of your healthcare than your doctor. If you don't believe that wait until the next time the doctor wants you to get a test or procedure done that the insurance company won't cover.

Is the timing of the changes in cancer screening recommendations a coincidence? Personally, I don't think so, the timing is just too impeccable. When did the insurance companies and the medical industry ever line up so perfectly on something as this seems to be lining up?

While I will agree that our healthcare system is broken, and has been for a long time. This new healthcare bill is not the answer! What does the government ever control better than private industry? Even the insurance companies that we bailed out with taxpayer dollars are still paying big bonuses. Only thing is, now they are paying them with your tax dollars instead of their own money. Well, I know, it was always the customers' money but now it is also my tax money, and yours. Tell the government to stay out of healthcare until they learn to govern themselves. Hah! that would be something to see!!

And tell the government that they can no longer vote themselves a raise but that the people are going to do that from now on. If we feel that they deserve to get one. When one serves too much time in Congress they get to know too many cronies and gain too much power. That is why we need term limits, but that is another story for another time.
