Teflon Don
I'm back baby
So all we have heard from the lefties is that "we have to have universal healthcare because prevention will lower costs". Right? Isn't that what they say?
Well, this long term study pours cold water on the whole premise.

It found that the death rates from breast cancer and from all causes were the same in women who got mammograms and those who did not. And the screening had harms: One in five cancers found with mammography and treated was not a threat to the woman’s health and did not need treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery or radiation.
So not only is there no difference in mortality, the test actually led to HIGHER healthcare costs by exposing women to unnecessary treatments and costs. This is why you should never trust a liberal. It is bad for your wallet and bad for your health.
