A new TV ad from Americans for Prosperity, a group opposing the health reform bill, suggests that screening mammograms for women under 50 would be in jeopardy if the health reform bill passes.

"A government panel that didn't include cancer specialists says women shouldn't receive mammograms until age 50," the ad said. "If government takes over health care, recommendations like these could become the law for all kinds of diseases."
