Wasserman-Schultz: “The Republicans… have for the first time politicized breast cancer,”
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) has attacked the Republicans once again. This time for, what she claims, is the Republicans using the new Rationed Breast Cancer checkup guide lines, to push their own thoughts on the Health Care Bill. If you haven’t heard a preventive medicine task force recommended last week that women not necessarily get mammograms before age 50, and even then get them only two years, according to The Hill.
Wasserman blames the difference in interpretation on “The task force language in that bill actually makes sure that prevention services like mammograms and colonoscopies would be free.”
Yes, it makes the the checkups free, but it also increases the lack of detection. Many woman under the age of 50 have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and many have gone in one year and been clear to find out the following year that they now have it. This IS the first step to health care rationing. Just because it will set it up so a mammogram is free does not mean that later date of having one preformed is a good idea!
You would think that as a surviver of breast cancer herself, that she would be more compassionate and sensitive to this particular topic, I guess this just proves that she is nothing more then a rank and file Democrat, that will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to pass their agenda.
Wasserman is nuts. Thanks for running Mr. Schock. No more Democrats or Republicans!
Generally, I’m not very keen on politics on the whole – but, occasionally we all have to take notice. There are several very good issues raised here, and I’m taking notice – I am grateful to you.
