I could not believe my ears. Just now, as Steve King wound up his special order on the House floor, he rattled off an amazing statement -- that the recent advice against women starting regular mammograms until age 50 is an example of a government death panel - and he said it in exactly those words.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601124&sid=avCzjxTItXU8The advice is controversial, but it is based on science and the arguments for and against should be based on scientific reasoning. And such an issue shouldn't be used by scheming little bastards like Steve King to fear-monger!
I will post a link to the statement as soon as it's available on the C-Span website. I doubt it will show up in time for an OP edit, but I will have it below.
