In a masterpiece of subtle control, the task force 'makes recommendations for medical screenings' that not-so-subtly dictate what your insurance covers without a copay. As the article points out, 'doctors' groups rely on' these guidelines, effectively making the task force the puppet masters of your yearly prods and pokes. It’s like getting a permission slip from a committee to have your yearly humiliation approved and subsidized. The real beauty? You might think it’s for your health, but really it’s about who gets billed for your nightmares in a sterile hospital room.
