Title: More reasons to not cover medical procedures?
Post by: thundley4 on August 06, 2012, 02:07:17 PM
Let's see, we've had studies showing that early mammograms and prostate screenings may be unnecessary.  It naturally follows that those things eventually won't be covered under government programs. 

Now there are a couple of more studies coming out.

Baseline EKGs not needed. (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57482554-10391704/healthy-people-should-skip-ekg-screening-say-new-u.s-preventive-services-task-force-guidelines/)

Chemotherapy may make cancer worse. (http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/shock-study-chemotherapy-backfire-cancer-worse-triggering-tumor-growth-article-1.1129897)

More ways to save the taxpayer money under ObamaCare's death panels.

Guy goes to the doctor
Says "Doc, my arm hurts when I move it like this"
Doc says "Don't move it like that"

True story (a no shitter), Good friend of mine had to go in to have a couple of artificial heart valves replaced after 13 years.  He told the Doc that his prevoius surgeon had said the original valves would last for life.  Doc replied "Well he probably didn't expect you to live this long".

^Good story. Even though it's true. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Can't wait for the DUmmies to start blaming the right for "lack of funding" when Obamacare shuts down healthcare to people that smoke, test positive for drugs, or are overweight.   ::)
