Off the Grid a Michael Wolff Newser Column

The Health-Care Wars Have Just Begun

Nov 20, 09 | 8:32 AM BY Michael Wolff

My 84-year-old mother was full of venomous indignation at dinner last night over the great mammogram take-back. Bureaucrats, in her view, will happily kill women to save money. My colleague, Caroline Miller, Newser’s editor in chief, took umbrage in this space the other day about the new guidelines.
