Healthcare Rationing Arrives In California...

Only the best...healthcare like the president and Congress...

The eligibility age for state-subsidized breast cancer screening has been raised from 40 to 50 by the California Health and Human Services Agency, which will also temporarily stop enrollment in the breast cancer screening program.

"More than 50 percent of the women we give breast exams and mammograms to are in their 40s," Riley said. "The majority of our current breast cancer survivors are women in their 40s."

"What makes me really worried is that the California Department of Public Health wants to save money by taking away a cancer-detection program," Klausen said. "That discriminates against a gender, and also discriminates against an income level. And it also discriminates against how community clinics can practice medicine."

Is healthcare 'reform' supposed to rely on saving money?  Bending the curve?

What is the best price for delivering this service?  If they can make other tests affordable, why not mammograms?

I feel no pity for california...they keep voting in these "people"
1, quit spending. what you dont have
2, quit ignoring illeagal immigration for what it is, a free handout
3, let the hollywierd liberals pay there fair share.. 80% of the bill, they want to trash America, let them pair for everyone else.
4, rationing doesnt work in a instant gratification society.

This is just the start of it. I live on Southern CA and have seen firsthand the out of control spending by the liberals in Sacramento. Our state is bankrupt and guess what? They are still spending like crazy! It's because of the illegal alien situation as well as the unions and all the entitlements and crooked payoffs. Now, Obama and Congress want to make the rest of the USA bankrupt just like California. The rationing is only beginning. This is a preview of goverment run health care rationing.
