This past week I heard that a panel of government scientists and doctors from the The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force had determined that women did not need to get mammograms on a yearly basis under 50 years old and after 50 only need a mammogram once every other year. I laughed when I heard that. I knew that was going to go over like a lead balloon. I have been sitting back waiting for the response and it is coming in fast and furious. I wonder how this sits with the pink crusaders on the left? I wonder how many women are putting 2 and 2 together now? I happen to personally know two women that are in remission from breast cancer and both are under 50 and one is under 40. Thank god they were checked earlier than 50 years old or they most likely wouldn't be alive today. Did you happen to get the name of the panel and who it is run by? "Government" would be the key word here. We have choices now. We can go and get mammograms or whatever else we want checked by picking up the phone and making an appointment with our personal doctors. The fact that some government panel tells us that mammograms are not needed doesn't affect any of us in the least right now. However, wait until we get that multi trillion dollar health care bill signed into law and up and running.
 
     If this isn't a wake up call to everyone, not just women, I don't know what will be. That is the way it will happen when government (an entity that does not produce anything) stamps out the competition of people that produce things. The government can set all the rules and will. When the federal government takes over health care for the leftists "single payer" system, there will be no recourse. There will be no other plan you can jump to because you might want to live a long life and happen to want a mammogram before you are 50. There will be some faceless "panel" that decides what health care you will get. If some government panel tells you that you that you cannot have a mammogram and you die before 50 from breast cancer, that is a "death panel". I don't think the supporters of government health care realize this, and if they do they are crazy. You also will not be able to sue the government because they are denying you care or care for a family member that would save their lives. Once you are dead it doesn't matter anyway, right?

     There is no way that a government that is bankrupting us right now with 12 trillion dollars in debt is going to be able to pay the health care costs of 300 million people with the same quality as we are accustomed to. It is not possible mathematically for government health care to work from the taxes of just the rich. Even to sustain a terrible government health care system it would take taxing all of us another double share of what they do now at the very least. Think about your taxes doubling and what that would do to you being able to eat and pay your mortgage and pay for Christmas and birthday presents. Forget about vacations and dining out at your favorite steakhouse or that new car or television you have been waiting to buy. The entitlements that the government is forcing us to bankroll now, the same ones that are all bankrupt, are making us work until May to pay for them in taxes. Imagine working over half the year just to give it to the government. The government being able to deliver proper health care is a myth, ask the women with breast cancer in the U.K. 

     The lie that is government health care is being perpetuated by the very people that have already opted out of it. It will be irreversible once the bureaucracy is created. The Department of Energy and The Department of Education are two examples of bureaucracies created years ago to fix problems that continue to exist to this day with massive budgets. The problem is that they have never even come close to solving the problems they were created to solve in the first place, rather the problems are worse than before. Think about it, is public education good in this country? Are we energy independent yet? Freedom is the choice to pick your path and keep your property. The government is going to take that freedom away from the people that do not want to fund government health care and like their own insurance. How would you like it if a government official showed up and told you that you had to buy a certain car. Then they forced you to buy the car they picked, with your money, and if you refuse you go to jail. Everyone I know would start a revolution if that happened but some of those same people are happy to let the same government take their money and demand that they pay for and use government health care then jail you when you refuse.

     This is no joke, this is reality if the current government health care plan passes. The politicians that are doing this could care less about your health. This is about control, pure and simple. Let this happen and it won't be pretty I can assure you. Please tell all of your friends about this government recommendation and explain to them that these same faceless government panels will be the law when government takes over health care. No normal American that actually sits down and thinks about this wants this, especially when we could insure the actual number of 12 to 13 million chronically uninsured with tax breaks, tweaks to regulations, tax free health savings accounts and tort reform. A trillion dollar government health care fiasco will only mean disaster for us. Every woman and man should have felt the wind from that government shot across the bow. I hope the left leaning women stand up to this and forget loyalty to the left. Even they must see the storm that is going to hit them too.
