The golden statement right there.... Can you see the light!
If people could afford to get annual or semi-annual check ups, more people would be healthier.
Here is a good questions:
"Why do people die from cancer, when it's 99.9 percent treatable?"
Answer: Because do one goes for check-ups, because they cost to much to do when your uninsured. And you are aware cancer is 100% treatable in its early stages, right?
And I'm debating the fact that if check-ups were more affordable, and people were more healthier, there would be no need for a gov't public option.
