Off the Grid a Michael Wolff Newser Column

The Health-Care Wars Have Just Begun

11
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. She noted the obvious cold efficiencies involved with discouraging younger women from having a yearly mammogram, as well as the “patronizing” justification for... More »

Sarah Palin Deserves Some More Attention
