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?

Cancer often will kill you quicker than a year. So it’s essentially a huge waste of resources that might catch 1% more cancers in time to treat them that would have otherwise been fatal. Not to mention a full body MRI takes several hours of being stuck in a tiny, uncomfortable box. There are a lot of people, even without claustrophobia, who would really prefer to never do that.
