And then this from the Former Director of the NIH

The first female to head the National Institutes of Health said Sunday she is advising women to ignore new recommendations by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which last week changed guidelines for mammographies from annually starting at age 40 to every other year starting at age 50.

"I'm saying very powerfully ignore them," former NIH director Dr. Bernardine Healy told Fox News Sunday.

"This will increase the number of women dying of breast cancer. Women in their 40s have a very aggressive kind of breast cancer. They tend to progress fast. And to not screen women in that age group is astounding to me, and it goes against the bulk of individuals who are actually caring for patients. You may save some money, Chris, but you're not going to save lives," she said.

That's great, ignor them, but how about when your insurance will no longer cover the procedure at all? Are you willing to pay out of pocket? What about when the Government wants to add an additional tax to the cost since it is an "elective" test?

In short the recommendation is so wrong it should be put in the recycle bin and pink slips issued and another panel convened.

I thought only fans said things like that. When it comes from a player it just sounds so pathedic.

Hey Rodney, as Michael Strahan put it, "WE STOMPED YOU OUT!". 18-1 ... ALMOST :).

RE: Thought for the Day - Reagan

I listened to this whole speech (again) last night. (for those interested, go here : millercenter.org/.../speeches and you can listen to many great speeches, including a bunch by Mr. Ronald Reagan).

I was so down about our current situation I needed to remember what it is that makes America great. Listening to RR gives me shivers up my spine (you listening, Chris Matthews? ) He got it. He knew what makes America great. As your quote above eludes to, it's We the People, AMERICANS that make America great. Not government. As he stated "Government should stand by our sides and not ride on our backs".

Great quote.
