With all the debate about public option, obamacare, government control of everything, costs, and everything else, I have noticed the following:





Some "Medical Experts" are coming out with some interestingly timed reports and/or suggestions.





Examples:  

       *  Yeah, we have told you for years that you need to have yearly mammograms, and do self examinations to find suspicious lumps.  Early detection is key.  Not anymore.  We don't want you getting them until you're 50 years old.  And forget about self examination.   You don't know what you're looking for.



        *I heard this report on NPR about how our medical care is just "too good."  We visit the doctor too many times and get too many fancy tests.  Hmm that's odd, you've always told us the system sucks here.  And if a patient wants a test done, why exactly is it bad?



        *There's been a couple other reports, I will update this when I remember them, and encourage you to add your own recollections.



Summary:  Some experts (the progressives) are trying to steer us into rationing healthcare in hopes that the .gov bill will pass.  I don't know why, other than they are dyed-in-the-wool socialists.
