Since the French equivalent of the FDA is recommending removal of these PIP breast implants due to a possible link with cancer and also because quite a few have ruptured, the government is going to pay for the removal costs. That would never happen in the USA.

Hamane? Wasteful? Don't really know. I suppose if you have the money to have the implants (unless it is reconstructive after breast cancer), then should it be your responsibility to have them removed? Or is it more likely culprit the company producing them? Is it the government's responsibility because they approved their use in France? All interesting questions for which there is no definitive answer.
