Change is on the way

So now it's not that important to get mammograms and pap smears any more? What other routine tests are the medical associations going to backpedal on recommending in order to make public healthcare more affordable?

Not that I'm one to go in for routine testing myself, even though I had a fibroid adenoma removed when I was in college.  Some of the recommendations do seem like overkill, as do the recommendations for vaccinations (Gardisil mandatory - really?), and the prescribing of antibiotics for every little fever, ache, and chill.  But the timing of these announcements seems disingenuous.

Aren't there any better ideas for reforming health care instead of handing it over to the government?
