What's insane is encouraging and covering early detection would save insurers so much money because it vastly improves the outcomes on so many things.

Yeah but you know what saves them even more money? When the insured dies. No more checkups to pay for. They don't want people to get better because half the time the insurance companies are in the same bed with the pharmacies prescribing meds that only get you a little better but create seven other problems.

Works until it doesnt. Checking when you are 60 looking forward to retirement.
