More on Government Interference with Under-50 Breast Cancer Screening.

My friend escapade52 raised some questions about my earlier post regarding the Obama administration changing the recommendations saying that women under 50 do not need mammogram screenings

I thought it was an independent medical board who released the new recommendations about mammography every 2 years, not an arm of the Obama administration. That was my understanding from reading news related to the new recommendations.

I've also read that Obamacare would NOT limit mammograms to 1 every 2 years, but I'm sure that's up for debate.

It is an independent panel: http://www.ahrq.gov/CLINIC/uspstfix.htm

And the research that lead to this decision started way before Obama took office.

I actually asked my internist about this just 2 weeks ago, since as cancer patient, I am considered at risk, even at 31
