How about prostate cancer or breast cancer. All these require regular
screening

Yes people can recognize they have a problem themselves. You do breast
exams yourself don't you? Nobody ever said you shouldn't go to the
doctor when you have something that needs a better opinion. The only
question is who pays. If you were not spending $1000 a month for a
cadillac plan you could afford these occasional visits yourself.
If you pay the doctor directly it is a hell of a lot cheaper than
having the insurance company or the government brokering the
transaction.


Actually, recent studies have shown that breast exams don't detect cancer on
a regular basis. Do you do prostate exams yourself?
