81% of Americans Oppose New Mammogram Guidelines

Americans aren't especially thrilled about the new guidelines concerning mammograms. My neighbor died from breast cancer while she was in her late 40s.

We are living in dangerous times. And isn't the timing of this new recommendation interesting, as the Democrats try to find an affordable healthcare plan? Think of the money that would be saved by eliminating mammograms for women between 40-49 years of age. Oh yeah, the liberals are compassionate all right.

81% Disagree With New Government Rationed Mammogram Rules

"US women with breast cancer currently have a higher survival rate than in socialized Europe.
A major reason for this is because the cancer is diagnosed earlier.

Researchers discovered that it was because of breast cancer screenings that women with breast cancer have a 14 percent higher survival rate in the United States than in Europe. Breast cancer mortality is 52 percent higher in Germany than in the United States, and 88 percent higher in the United Kingdom. Breast cancer mortality is also 9 percent higher in Canada than in the US. Less than 25 percent of U.S. women die from breast cancer. In Britain, it’s 46 percent; France, 35 percent; Germany, 31 percent; Canada, 28 percent; Australia, 28 percent, and New Zealand, 46 percent.

Maybe that’s why just 8% of Americans agree with the government’s new rationed mammogram rules.
Rasmussen reported:


'A federal medical panel’s recommendation that women can now wait until age 50 to get a routine mammogram instead of age 40 is stirring up strong debate. The latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 81% of adults disagree with the panel’s recommendation. Just nine percent (8%) agree with the new guideline.'"
