    Breast Cancer Screening

     

    It's quite concerning that the recommendation has been made to delay screening for breast cancer. Percentages and numbers are exactly that but human life is more than just a number. Is this what it is coming to regarding the treatment of disease?

     

    I've shared the fear and worry with my wife (woman in the video) and the only number she carries in my book is #1. Healthcare in this country has become no more than a "business"... the regard for human life is centered only around the profit to be made from it.

     

    Before we go around the world preaching human rights it's best we make sure that we are not guilty of inhumane practices ourselves. The healthcare of this and all nations needs to be addressed with a genuine concern for "health" rather than "profit".

     

    I am a proud Vietnam era veteran and I support the ideals this country was founded on but I am thoroughly disgusted with what we have become.
