Marie D I worked in the healthcare insurance industry for 7 years and took care of my mother when she had breast cancer and then Alzheimer's Disease. I also worked for an oncology clinic that specialized in treating breast cancer. Seeing what she went through has made me question the amount of radiation that mammography and x-rays subject us to. When I watched this compelling documentary, it reinforced my views. Treating patients based upon defensive medicine does not lead to positive outcomes. The U.S. over tests, overmedicates, and overtreats patients. The profit motive incentivizes this. Other countries pay their doctors a salary not based upon the number of tests and procedures and they have more competition. Other advanced countries also have a healthier population that lives longer with a better quality of life and does not have such a high proportion of medical bankruptcies as the U.S. With a single payor system, millions or billions of dollars can be saved with better outcomes. We must enlighten ourselves and better train our medical professionals so that we can enjoy better, healthier lives. I highly recommend that women watch this documentary and do research in order to determine what is best for them. Those of us with dense breast tissue should not be tested annually via mammograms for decades of our lives. I will quit doing so.
