Not you and your doctor. Unless you can pay out-of-pocket. Ever since the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force called for fewer mammograms and fewer Pap smears, the Obama Administration has been trying to distance itself from the organization — referring to its recommendations as “nonbinding.”
Yet the National Center for Policy Analysis has discovered that the Reid health care bill refers to the task force no less than 26 times. And, yes, the task force will determine what screenings will and will not be included in the minimum coverage that everyone will be required to buy.

The debate over the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force mammography recommendation is really just a debate about money. If the Task Force increases the recommended age for mammography, women under the recommended threshold might have to pay out-of-pocket. There’s where consumer driven health care comes in. If people control more of their own health care dollars, they can decide what they’re willing to pay for. Unfortunately, the Obama Administration apparently doesn’t believe in consumer choice.

Thanks for this post. The Obama Administration doesn’t want us to know these things.

Just what we need. Washington Bureaucrats getting between doctors and their patients. this is awful.

this is the first lob. This is how rationing will start. The government deciding who gets what when. Obama can distance himself all he likes, but if the bill gets passed and he signs it, he will become the center of the problem…which he already is.
