In Our View: Step in the wrong direction on breast cancer screening
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force earlier this week updated guidelines, saying women in their 40s do not need routine mammograms for early detection of breast cancer. Apparently these “experts” — none of whom are oncologists — haven’t been reading our obituaries lately.

Voices: Another Robin Hood
I approve of the health care reform. Roosevelt helped the poor, getting Social Security passed while he was president.

Voices: Mission, vision confusion
The “mission” of a group has to do with its continuing a vowed purpose. The mission need not change until there is a change in this propelling intent. A vision implies a time-specific picture anticipated at some point of progress.

Voices: Never-ending requests
Empire District Electric is asking the Public Service Commission for a 19.6 percent increase in electric rates so they can buy into other power plants.

Voices: Missouri’s slide
An old Chinese saying tells us, “If you are planning for one year, grow rice; for 20 years, grow trees; for 100 years, grow men.” For too long now, Missouri has been growing nothing but rice.

Voices: Not for the good
A recent letter writer asks: “Will someone explain to me why we should have government-managed heath care? I don’t understand.”
-
Voices: Can’t compete
The only reason, despite their rationalizations, that our representatives resist passing health care reform is because the general population has been wrongly influenced by the distorted information of the insurance and medical community to believe that their benefits will be negatively impacted by health care reform.

Voices: Shame on this country
After reading Rita Crowell’s letter in the Globe (Nov. 9), I felt I just had to respond. I don’t believe she has even read the health care bill that was passed. I read a summary of the bill and here are the highlights:
