As a matter of fact, NO Doctor, Oncologist, OR medical professional had anything to do with it. If you leave now, you can probably make it to the store in time to buy today's Wall Street Journal and fiuind this out for yourself. There was not ONE SINGLE MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL on the panel that came up with the 50 year old 'guideline'. It was done by a panel, and most likely a panel of bureaucrats. This is Bambicare. No science. No medicine. Just statiticians and actuaries. You know, like of like an insurance company. Except most insurance companies do have medical professionals advising them so they don't go and say something stupid. So, keep on rooting for National health care! Just the same thing, only run by the government instead of an insurance company. We don't expect any more from you, or them.

Last I read, the recommendation came from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Is that still the case, as far as you know?

I'd like to know what 'doctor' would recommend fewer breast exams. Should probably have his license revoked. Let's see Michelle O lead the way!

From the Task Force website: "The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) solicits nominations for members of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) through an open process announced in the Federal Register, an official Government publication for notices from Federal agencies and organizations. Anyone can nominate a candidate for the Task Force. Self-nominations are also accepted. Members of the Task Force are selected based on recognized expertise in prevention, evidence-based medicine, and primary care." http://info.ahrq.gov/cgi-bin/ahrq.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=9&p_created=1151080977&p_sid=ERAUWoNj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_srch=1&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NDUsNDUmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPTE2LDUmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0yLjUmcF9wYWdlPTE!&p_li=&p_topview=1 So it is part of the government, but not appointed by Obama. > It was only thee days after the AMA and Cancer Society objected, causing the > uproar, that the Secretary come out and said, it wasn't "us" it was "them," And it was the Obama administration doing the right thing.
