The holiday hasn't left us much time to find obvious news. But we did find one medical headline that--given the past few weeks of debate--seems like a truly impressive understatement: Breast Cancer Risk Is Not So Easy to Figure Out, according to HealthDay.

I don't think that the breast cancer issue was all that complex. The science was clear and the USPSTF did its job properly. What ignited the situation was politics. Even Secretary Sebelius retreated from her own USPSTF task force - a group known for its objectivity. More commentary at http://bit.ly/656CwP
