Right sees mammogram recommendations as confirmation of "government rationing"

[NAO]

The timing of the release of the new recommendations for Mammograms is disastrous. The right is really talking up that this is confirmation of their warnings of "government rationing of health care" and even calling it "the first of the death panels".

The have a clip of Obama last month saying he will absolutely not cut funding for mammograms and preventive care, and then they exclaim that this is proof of his duplicity.

The right wing media are playing this very successfully.

I wonder how that works. Probably as well as Right Wing Abstinence policies. (Oh please god, don't let me get pregnant!)
