COMMENTS: Not a Great Business
Why are fewer women getting mammogram screening for breast cancer than in 2000? Nationwide among women over the age of 40 there are now three million fewer performed. Are women getting complacent? A pair of in-house physicians, Jon LaPook at CBS and Nancy Snyderman (at the end of her The Year 2017 videostream) at NBC suggested that. Are more women uninsured? ABC's John McKenzie and NBC's Snyderman mentioned that. Are there fewer clinics offering the service? CBS' LaPook and ABC's McKenzie thought so. "Hundreds of mammogram centers have been forced to shut down," McKenzie reported, because the test is not profitable. "It is not a great business for radiologists," shrugged LaPook.
