Ed Gamble, 5/26/12:
Sure, early detection of a slow-growing cancer that doesn't affect your life for many years only adds costs, causes anxiety and stress, and shifts healthcare resources away from treatments that will help more people -- Gamble admits all of that.
But, goddamn it, old white men run this country, and they deserve to get every single cent of federal money that they can get their hands on. So detect their prostate cancers early, and spend lots of money to ruin their sex lives and make them unhappy for years before they finally die of something else -- it's their due.
