Changes in cancer screening recommendations

So earlier this week the US Preventative Services Task Force changed the recommendation for routine mammograms. This morning I heard The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology changed their recommendation for pap smears. In both cases the age for initial testing was raised. The frequency of periodic testing was decreased from yearly to once every two years for mammograms and three years for pap smears.

Someone please tell me this is in no way tied to reducing health care costs.
