Generations for Life: Susan G. Komen Still Referring Women to Planned Parenthood for Mammograms

Generations for Life posts this showing that Susan G. Koemen still refers people to Planned Parenthood for mammograms despite the fact that they do not actually do mammograms. They explain that they refer to PP who outsources this service. So why not just give money directly to the providers of the mammogram. This relationship between PP and Koemen Race for the Cure is too cozy and I feel like we have just scratched the surface of it.

What's so strange about this? PP helps women get a free or low cost mammogram in the area. Certainly being the sole medical provider for so many women, they would be a good And likely resource for this.

Susan G. should give the $$ for mammograms directly to the provider which is not PP

Why Susie? Why shouldn't they give to PP? PP is the gateway for many women to getting mammograms.

*Because PP has proven to have such a poor track record of caring for women vs. their pocketbook! *Because, when I did my research eight years ago, they were still receiving MORE money to receive Medicaid patients than regular patients. And, lastly (as if you couldn't see this one coming) because they literally live off the blood of innocents.. think about that for a moment. Even the fence-sitters who work there, who are still idealistic, receive a paycheck soaked in blood.
*Really, the sole provider? That a load of sh** if I ever heard it.. because no other Dr. or board of health takes Medicaid patients!
And yes, I have been a Medicaid patient of reproductive age.

And most importantly because they literally live off the blood of innocents.. think about that for a moment. Even the fence-sitters who work there, who are still idealistic, receive a filthy paycheck soaked in blood.

And yes, I have been a Medicaid patient of reproductive age. Or maybe we just have it especially good in Indiana but I doubt it.
