Another test we no longer need.

First it was mammograms and pap smears and then PSA tests. Now our government has decided that middle-aged women no longer need bone density scans. A spokesman for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the government panel that issues testing guidelines, says, " . . . there's no reason to expose yourself to any risks [radiation] if there's going to be no benefit."

I think I have it figured out now. Obamacare is not more affordable health care; it's more affordable no health care.
