We just got big news! According to the journal Annals Of Internal Medicine, published on this Dec. 30, 2013 ended on a high note for lung research. They announced:
“It’s official: Annual low-dose CT screening for lung cancer is recommended for high-risk individuals, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) announced.
This is only a step in the right direction. As 2014 unfolds, we will have to see if a practical program of lung cancer screening can be implemented.
These lung screening programs have been developing across the country and now the support of the USPSTF recommendati9on should boost screening programs everywhere. 
The Affordable Care Act does mandate that this be covered without co-pay and Medicare won’t be required to cover the CT scans.
