11. Not really free screening

A lot of these tests are only free under certain conditions.

For example, my employer's insurance would pay 100% of a colonoscopy except in the case of biopsies.

That being said, its better to have a coloscopy than being treated for colon cancer later.

A lot of these prescreening tests save costs in the long run and save lives.
