that women were told would save lives. They didn't talk about decreasing risk from repeated doses of radiation that could conceivably cause more cancers, and they should have.

Still, physicians have the leeway to order early mammograms for women with a strong family history of early breast cancer.

The people to worry about are insurance companies, who will now piss and moan about paying for them for any woman under 50, no matter her risk.

And I think that's the real reason for the backlash. We know what those bloodless bastards peering at their actuarial tables will do: refuse them for everyone under 50 and drop coverage completely on everyone over 50.
