Shall I ask? Are they recommended by physicians and routinely done every
five years. My insurance pays for what medicare does not pay. I don't have
to ask for one; my physican schedules it, as they do a mammogram. They
routinely do pulmonary tests, chest exrays, etc to diagnose problems. I
have medicare, as I say many, many times, whether I want it or not.
