Breast Cancer and Healthcare Rationing

Breast cancer is a devastating disease, and women in the United States expect to be screened from the disease when they are at risk.

Understandably individual women were shocked when they learned that an authoritative panel is dictating that they should no longer get what they previously expected to prevent them from dying a premature death due to cancer.

This panel is the same panel which has been authorized by Obama's healthcare legislation to give official recommendations for government-approved healthcare plans. The same panel suggestions which will serve the basis for who gets what kind of treatment. A soft death panel, in Dr. Rich's words.

If the government does not approve the cost, the government will not allow it to be covered.

This is exactly how the government will work to deny healthcare coverage to millions of vulnerable Americans. Expect only more of it with Obamacare.

The nightmare of government control is alive in our open eyes.
