GOP Candidate Chris Collins: 'People Now Don't Die From Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer'

35. For crying outloud....Thanks for proving my point!

The USPSTF which provides recommendations to the US department of health which in turn oversees the ACA has advised that screenings for mammograms are unnecessary for women under 50 and routine PSA tests are unecesssary for men under 70.

Screenings for these age groups were given a grade of "D" by the USPSTF.

Did you happen to notice this little disclaimer on that website? :
Categories of Covered
Preventive Services
• Evidence-based items/services rated A or B in the current recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services
Task Force.



So you respond by sending me a source stating that mammograms and PSA tests are covered for some people???? Have you ever read an insurance policy? I used to work for BCBS Illinois ...so I am familiar with concept.

Thanks for your insincere comment about loved ones. It is painful to watch and you should know that I probably have spent more time researching this issue than you.
