(24 posts)Ruby,
Again, I'm not just arguing politics here (unlike you). It's something I'm passionate about and have researched because my Dad is dying from matastic prostate cancer.
Here's the government website: (see prostate cancer and breast cancer holdings)
http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/uspstf.htm
The US Preventive Services Task Force that issued the decision on prostate cancer is part of the US Health Department....the same department that oversees the ACA! How could an insurer be prosecuted by the government for not covering something that the government itself calls "unnecessary". Have you honestly been following the news? There are multiple articles from multiple political persuasions on this topic. Take your pick! Why did the AMA and the ACS flip out over the recommendation on breast cancer? Why did the USPSTF have to shut down their website after the recent recommendation on prostate cancer?
I'd LOVE to see your sources. I find it hard to believe the government would contradict itself and not even bother to correct its own website.
