Health Care: Women Will Die, Men Will Die ... Waiting to Die

Recently, a panel of experts determined that women did not need to have breast examinations as often as they have been urged to have them. Having them too often or beginning to early was counter-productive. Instead, women could wait until they were over 40 to do any examinations.


The problem with this is - more women are saved by these early examinations today, than at any time in history. If you cut out these procedures until they are over 40, we will see thousands of women who will either die, or who will lose their breasts to mastectomies.


One should wonder why this group of experts proposed this - the panel was entirely medical doctors, and all were beyond medical school age, so why ...


NONE of the doctors were experts in cancer or in any field related to breast cancer.


Thousands of women will die.


And if that is not enough, it seems like someone does not like women, because now comes the advice that, according to experts, pap smears should not start until at least 21. To the average reader, that would seem like a good time to start give or take a few months, except it isn't the fact they urge you to wait until 21, it is the fact they repeat the procedure every two years thereafter, and then at 30, every three years.


One of the reasons these individuals gave for their new advice is that since the 1970s there has been a 50 percent decline in rates of cervical cancer. "Nationwide, an average of 14 cases of cervical cancer occur in women between ages 15 and 19, while an average of 123 cases occur among women ages 20 to 24, prompting concerns that most Pap smears for young women are unnecessary. It's also been found that the majority of cervical lesions—which occur in 1 in 5 Pap tests among adolescents—will resolve themselves within 3 years, while removing or burning away these legions probably raises the later risk of giving birth to a premature or underweight baby."


So 4 in 5 tests do not result in this lesion being found BUT because they may resolve themselves in three years ....


We will see the rates of cervical cancer rise and women will die.


Why? This is the start of the rationing. It isn't even mandated yet, and it has begun. These useless individuals who place their prestige and income above the lives of patients, have already sold women out.


And this is BEFORE Obamacare takes effect, before it is even voted out of the Senate ... now imagine the limitations on other aspects of your medical life.


If you are in any doubt, simply look to Canada, where there is an 8 month waiting list in the province of Manitoba for colonoscopies. Stand by for tumors and cancer and then death. They are free.


We, the American people, by funding our research companies developed the MRI, which today saves the lives of tens of thousands of people each week around the globe. Developed here. Statins, SSRIs, knee and hip replacements - all invented and discovered in the United States - NOT in any socialized medical state. The millions who are alive today due to those medicines and treatments. We are on the verge of a cure for AIDS or a shot that would forestall the growth of AIDS and it could come any day - invented here, and it will be given for free to Africa and the hundreds of millions around the world who will get it through the efforts to save Africa. We did it, not Finland or Norway or Sweden or Canada.


The ingenuity and imagination will not continue. Companies will cease development. Companies will stop spending hundreds of millions on new drugs when the costs will be too great and no one will be allowed to use them. Thousands will die.


And yet they march on - women to the slaughter, and some would say - give Him a chance, He has just begun. How many thousands of women will die, and thousands more sentenced to death, or at the very minimum, to losing their breasts because testing was not allowed until too late. How many must die before we say it doesn't matter if He has only started, one life is too much.






Many cancer treatments will no longer be available. More will die.
