No. And I pointed out that yes, we should all have the same coverage to spread the risk and the cost out.

But since you can't seem to accept that a man can ever do anything right....

does it cover breast exams? nt seabeyond Oct 2013 #3

I don't actually know. That's why I'm asking. Does the ACA cover either? Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #4

Under ACA preventive care is free and medical care is covered. kestrel91316 Oct 2013 #51

Yes, and it need not be part of a regular physical. n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #53

how effective is the psa, and is it harmful. what is the issue with it lumberjack? seabeyond Oct 2013 #57

I dunno. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #61

Actually, I just read such a story about mammograms not too long ago... Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #62

Are you now saying that mammograms shouldn't be free? n/t lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #64

What I'm saying is a discussion exists where you don't seem to see one. Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #66

The nature of the cost/benefit discussion is moot. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #68

Yes, but are excessive mammograms considered harmful to women's health? Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #71

if you do not know what the issue is, maybe you should educate yourself. seabeyond Oct 2013 #65

health care isn't a snack bar. how clueless. WHY is breast cancer screening covered? CreekDog Oct 2013 #112

thanks for the info mercury. 75% is pretty high. nt seabeyond Oct 2013 #98

It appears the screening of PSA is quite literally not recommended by medical bodies. Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #59

The same debate is offered about mammograms and breast cancer genetic screening. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #63

it's never been up to me, it's up to the recommendation of my doc, who follows bettyellen Oct 2013 #102

No, the same debate is not offered about mammograms and breast cancer genetic screening CreekDog Oct 2013 #125

My husband's PSA testing literally saved his life. phylny Oct 2013 #92

I guess in your scenario it must have been at least a year or two since her last mammogram whopis01 Oct 2013 #104

You do realize they are only going to allow one mammogram a year right? VanillaRhapsody Oct 2013 #127

No, it's not equivalent. hunter Oct 2013 #82

You did know that the ACA was passed two full years before the recommendation? Right? lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #103

You don't know the law you are pretending to quote CreekDog Oct 2013 #114

Let me explain this. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #115

As part of a yearly physical, yes. Lars39 Oct 2013 #5

Does the ACA cover prostate exams that are requested by a doctor for a specific purpose? Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #8

That I don't know, but I would think that it would be covered by insurance like Lars39 Oct 2013 #16

Okay, so it's pretty likely that the ACA covers all sorts of prostate exams. And that deflates... Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #18

but if breast cancer screening is included in this it ALREADY deflates the bullshit mens right seabeyond Oct 2013 #21

"covers" <> "free" lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #67

Point 1: there are many medical procedures that no ethical doctor will carry out electively. antigone382 Oct 2013 #113

you're saying a congress, the Senate and the president discriminated against men CreekDog Oct 2013 #126

It would be the same if a woman's doctor requested a mammogram outside the norm tammywammy Oct 2013 #23
