The past few days since the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force announced their recommendations on mammography and breast exams. I've been concerned about what could be interpreted as a trade off vs. cost that panels such as this can/will be making (policy?) in the possible future of American health choices under the "reform" presently being rushed through congress. This hits me in two ways, since I am not an advocate of the current direction of healthcare "reform" in the U.S. Additionally, being the single male in a family pretty much dominated by women, most recently a younger sister, 7 years in remission from breast cancer, then of course my personal enjoyment in performing exams on my girlfriend. I really see this recommendation as a negative toward the health choices of women in general. Am I reading into this too much? Am I making an emotional decision versus a fact based one?
