Should we worry about the new report from the medical community? Women don't need breast cancer screening as often as previously believed? Hm.... http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE5AF5BP20091117
Could it be a ploy to pay less heath care dollars on women's medicine? Don't women pay enough already? They pay more for their health care; medications aren't tested on women, they're tested on men, thereby cheating women of equality in care; women aren't usually covered for birth control medications while men are covered for erectile dysfunction (viagra) meds (I could go on but I'm not feeling like researching). Is it now that the health care industries are in financial straits.. or about to be.. could it be those companies are looking for ways to cut their costs? If women want tests for breast cancer it will cost them more than it does now because the health care companies can cut back on standard coverage. Hm...
