So you can't refute the facts of the articles. No big deal, I didn't expect you to find anything to say they were inaccurate.

How do they compare to profit-motivated insurance company panels which try to recommend how the insurance companies should manage your healthcare.

We aren't talking about the profit motivated insurance companies.

Yeah, there was only one insurance executive on this panel...
Anyway, if this is any indicator of how evidence-based medicine will be recieved as a cost-cutting measure in healthcare reform, the lesson is: people don't like having services taken away. my opinions on this topic brought to you by: that one thing I heard on NPR the other morning

Cousin Susan got breast cancer at 49, but Mum and Nan were in their 60s. My GP thinks I'm having migraines because my weight means I have slightly higher than normal blood pressure. I'm more worried about that. Also, I do check myself regularly. If I'm going to cost the NHS money, I'd rather it was for something I was really at risk from. Sadly, of course I don't get to choose - Bucks have just cancelled funding of a counselling centre for example - nice. Right now I need that more than I need to squeeze my tit into a machine.

I like it, "Preventative Services Task Force"........It's like the opposite game.

Wow, since today is the 12th of December 2009, and I am arguably "in your future" based on my position on the globe.......then Els is right...is this always published with a future date?

It's not unusual for magazines and journals to be released before the date on their cover. They usually take a few days to reach the bulk of consumers, so they will not seem so outdated when that happens.
