No one gets a full physical screening these days, no one. And, I'm thinking everyone should.
I mean, a brain scan, all heart tests -- everything. Every test money can buy.
And, there's the trick -- money. The insurance companies limit which tests can be run, saying there needs to be reason for running the test before it can be done. The price of a stress test is so high that they are not going to let it be done unless there is apparent reason for it.
This is not right. The price for a full health screening must be brought down till everyone can afford it. It is like a colonoscopy: There may be no symptoms present to indicate it is needed, but it can still be a good idea to get one anyway.
