He's not a doctor, he just plays one in his mindRemember when the USPSTF - a group tied to Kathleen Sebelius and Ezekiel Emanuel - recommended that fewer mammograms and pap smears be given to women?
Remember when President Obama (dba Kathleen Sebelius) distanced himself from the recommendations, without ever saying if the Obama administration actually supports the "cost-saving" recommendations?
That was a little over two weeks ago... And now we find out that the recommendations are already being implemented, under the watch of President Obama, Kathleen Sebelius and Ezekiel Emanuel:

"I cried and I panicked," said Erin LaBarge, 47. This would have been her third straight year receiving a free mammogram through the screening program in St. Lawrence County. But the Norwood, N.Y., resident was told she couldn't get her free mammogram this year because there isn't enough money and she's not old enough.
New York used to screen women of all ages, but this year the budget crunch has forced them to focus on those considered at highest risk and exclude women under 50.
