re: #681 lawhawk

The argument is that the number of procedures done versus the number of people who will benefit from early detection is not cost-effective. If you’re one of those who have a disease caught early via those screenings benefit, but if you’re the bean counter trying to make the numbers work - you’d be in a bind.

I’m sorry hawk, I’m not following you.

Mammography screening is generally done over the age of 35. Currently, it’s free over that age, unless you have additional diagnostic procedures (have a family history) then you may have to pay something.

Colonoscopies are generally suggested after age 50 so you’re not getting these screenings unless you meet those ages. Not that anyone would want to get a colonoscopy unless they need to.
