Posted by bingbong on Wed Nov 18 11:25:23 2009, in response to Healthcare rationing: it begins, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Nov 17 13:38:27 2009. Rationing healthcare in America is handled by the insurance companies. They do their own hatchet job on it, believe me. Once they impose this restriction on doctors it will stick. Trust me. You only get the amount of care your insurance company is willing to pay for.Prescribing a 5 year course of tamoxifen to every woman just after menopause does even more to prevent and/or stop breast cancer in its earliest forms. There's two drugs that prevent prostrate cancer in men over 55, I forget what they are at the moment, the NYT did an article last week on it. Some cancers can be prevented to begin with. I'd rather take the pills than the test, over and over again, IMHO TYVM. One more note....this guideline only applies to those without a history of the disease in their family. |
