re: #34 simoom

The thing is, by yesterday evening Komen had already abandoned their Congressional inquiry explanation and adopted a new one about a retooled grant strategy that only funded places that directly perform biopsies & mammograms. From yesterday:

So if they’ve really changed their funding criteria, this reversal on investigations won’t matter much, as PP wouldn’t qualify for future grants.

Of course, that one’s in the process of being changed because an amazingly large number of places that get the grants do “pass-through”. They, (like PP), have physicians do the basic exam, and if lumps or other indicators are found they send the patients to a clinic that has the equipment, and pay for it with a voucher against the grant.

expect plan C within a few days.
