Check-ups, usually.
And my annual exam costs around $500, for all the tests they run.

My problem with a focus on preventive care is that personally, I can pay $500 a year for an annual exam.

It’s the bills in the hundreds of thousands for care when I’m sick that I worry about.

I had a plan once, for one year, that focused on “preventive care”.
What it meant was that if I wanted my annual exam, I could get in to see the doctor very quickly.

But when I called and was sick, it took several weeks to see the doctor.
I dropped that plan - as did almost everyone else who had it, that particular insurance is out of business.
