Freaking adorable!!!!

Fantastic! Keep up the pressure and the good work.

It isn’t gold. It is pee tape yellow.

Sadly, I will most likely still be teaching when we get the textbooks. I will make sure to correctly refer to it as “The Big Balls Beatdown” regardless of how Pearson sanitizes it.

Well here’s your big problem right here: “reduced disease incidence and mortality, and lowered long‑term healthcare costs by catching disease earlier or avoiding unnecessary procedures.”
The expert panel has been fantastically effective. No wonder RFKJr wants to kill it.

10/ USPSTF also issues “D” recommendations (discouraging services with net harm), such as against PSA-based prostate cancer screening in men over 70 ,shifting practice patterns and avoiding over-diagnosis.

9/ Aspirin: In certain age/gender groups (men 45–79, women 55–79) for primary prevention of cardiovascular events.

All these services, backed by USPSTF recommendations, are now automatically covered by insurance with no out‑of‑pocket cost, vastly increasing accessibility.

8/ Colorectal cancer screening: Recommendations for colonoscopy or fecal testing for adults 45–75 have driven early detection and reduced mortality.
Lung cancer: Low‑dose CT scans for high‑risk adults 55–80 reduce deaths by catching disease earlier.

7/ Proven impact examples :
Breast cancer screening: In April 2024 the USPSTF lowered the starting age from 50 to age 40 due to rising breast cancer rates, especially among Black women a change estimated to save lives through earlier detection.

6/ Why it matters: Since ACA 2010, insurers are legally required to cover services graded A or B with no cost‑sharing mammograms, colorectal cancer screening, HIV PrEP, aspirin use in cardiovascular prevention, osteoporosis screening, lung cancer CT scans, and more.
