Who Pays The Price for Giving Women Deadly Bad Advice?

I don't wish to beat this subject to death, but thousands of women every year between the ages of 40 and 49 discover they have breast cancer.  They find out after undergoing a mammogram.  Or after they examine themselves for lumps that may signal the presence of a malignancy.

Women who would go without both of these routine screenings under new proposed guidelines by an independent task force that was, allegedly, assigned the task of determining the value of screenings and self-examinations, could find out too late to get life-saving treatment.

Thousands of women whose lives would probably have been over had they not either had a mammogram, or had not not paid attention to their bodies and learned how to check for warning signs.  They would not have learned in their 40s, or younger, that I were afflicted with breast cancer.

And every day that passed without treatment would have brought them much closer to death.   Who pays the price for this wrong-headed finding when the first woman dies needlessly because she went without proper, and timely, tests?  How many lawsuits would have to be filed before women were once again advised by their doctors to protect their health with early screenings and self-exams?
