Preventive medicine saves vast amounts of money. But then, Republicans like you endorse the Ryan plan. Seniors should just die and get out of the way when they are no longer working.

Programs like that actually spend vast amounts of money, with little to show for it. There is no such thing as a "free colonoscopy" desptie what Barney Frank has been telling you.

So why does ObamaCare want to reduce the number of screenings?
How will ObamaCare affect prostate cancer screening?

ObamaCare includes various financial carrots and sticks to pressure doctors into joining large “Accountable Care Organizations” (ACOs). These ACOs will use mandatory electronic medical records to track how closely physicians adhere to government practice guidelines. Doctors who obey government practice guidelines will be rewarded. Those who order more tests or procedures than the government deems necessary will be penalized.ACO physicians may thus be reluctant to recommend PSA screening even when the patient is willing to pay for it himself. Patients who test positive will require further downstream procedures such as prostate ultrasounds, MRI scans, or biopsies, which may count against the doctor’s ACO practice statistics. USPSTF guidelines could slowly erode many doctors’ willingness to offer their best honest advice to their patients. If your doctor recommends against a PSA test, can you be sure he’s offering his best medical opinion, without being biased by the bonus he’ll receive for reducing the number of procedures performed by the ACO?

So-called preventive medicine costs us astronomically. That's what the HMO's, PPO's and all that stuff claimed when they came into effect. But the truth is, they've jacked up costs for anything.

And btw, the first thing they teach you in college on day 1 of business school is 'There's no such thing as free." If a politician is touting free then you know you're getting scammed in the first place.
