It didn't happen.

That said, usual excuse every time there is an expansion.

Or does that system not work when its pressed into the service of ideals Fox does not support?

"First, do no harm (to my bottom line)"

One of the men rants about how he expects to be micromanaged by obamacare. Obamacare will tell him he "can't do a mammogram over the age of 40"

Was that an accident?

When one is younger and the tissue more dense. Just more disinformation.

The earlier part about too many people is their standard excuse to deny equality under the law. They really outted themselves there.

Any law that covers everyone is bad!

Not just in health care. In everything.

I thought for sure age 40 is when the doctor tells you to get your first mammogram if you haven't had one yet.

In any case, I don't see any reason why we should believe that doctors will be told not to do mammograms. We are to believe that Barack Obama himself will step into the doctor's room, wearing a turban, telling doctors what to do.

because they have less dense breast tissue.

I can always tell when it's time to hang it up when I forget my naughts and turn things backwards.

Waiting until 40 would be the correct thing to do, instead, Faux lied again...

And that old coot of a doctor is a regular on FOX.
So it's not likely he just got flustered and misspoke in front of the camera. That was deliberate prevarication!

I have a dear friend who is a doctor.

He was once hired to review automobile accident claims for an insurance group. He said the pay was high and there was an additional bonus per claimd denied.

He quit as soon as he realized they were lying to deny the claims of people who were hurt and had a low opinion of the doctor who say what they're paid to say, even called them prostitutes. I can still remember the disgust as he talked.

He did several different kinds of work and finally set up his own practice to escape it and wasn't as rich as he could have been, but was able to be honest.

And then you get examples of this that explode right in your face: "there'll be too many patients".

Faux News isn't news, it's racist right wing propaganda

including the right to live. The sad thing is that so many people today seem to feel that way and most of them have the nerve to call themselves "Christian".

I don't know a single doctor who isn't intensely aware of how the physician shortage is already impacting the public.

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.

I will not be ashamed to say "I know not", nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given to me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, be respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
