Mrs. E told me last night that no fewer than THREE women teachers, just this semester, were diagnosed with breast cancer. No idea about the severity with any of them, but any thinking person is going to scream  :bs:  to the liberals who try to shove this pile of shit down our throats.

Getting PSA checked for men, and colonoscopies done for both sexes, is absolutely critical to sustained health.

hey Lord Zero! Don't believe me about the PSA thing? Just check with Moon Unit Zappa, whose father Frank croaked of prostate cancer.

 :censored: asshat.

Yeah, an 0bama mouthpiece on the morning radio (I think her name must have been Bagdad Bob) basically said, "nothing to see here folks, move along......self exams are more effective, blah, blah......."

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

It's amazing how many otherwise smart people will hear that and completely gravitate toward it. Like lemmings toward a cliff...

I thought that they also came out against teaching women to do the self examination, or did I read that wrong?

Nope, that is in there too.  Women are just supposed to be "breast-aware," but not worry about doing actual thorough exams  ::)

So far victims Obama's healthcare (before it is even official):

-Preventative screenings for breast cancer
-Preventative screening for prostate cancer

At least they aren't being sexist about it (/sarcasm)

And it starts...and the bill hasn't even passed.  Let the Rationing begin.

If anyone doesn't think this is bizarre, needs to get their head examined.  Prevention was the highlight of Obama's plan....but it costs money...so I wonder what other services will be recommended to be done less and less.
