I’ve seen so many horror stories where someone gets sick or is in pain, thinking they know what’s causing it only to find out they have late stage cancer. I don’t understand…..wouldn’t insurance companies want to offer this like they would a free yearly physical as it would be cheaper for them than paying out cancer treatments? Wouldn’t doctors want to push they’re patients to have this service done?

The US has a grand total of 32-ish MRIs per million people. Most of those are in highly developed cities, and. that’s on the higher end; most countries have fewer than that. We literally don’t have enough machines on earth to even attempt that.
Plus, the false positives would be absolutely insane; enough that doing this would waste a significant amount of medical resources on making people think they’re gonna die (and possibly administering treatments that may cause the problems they’re trying to solve.)
