New Screening Guideline Controversy

Here's some news on the US Preventive Services Task Force's new recommendations related to Mammograms. I'm not a doctor or scientist, but I don't think I agree with this new viewpoint. If this type of annual screening saves one life, isn't it worth it, especially considering it's relative low cost in comparison to other procedures and tests currently performed within the medical field?
