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?

MRI’s take a lot of time. I worked as an imaging assistant at the hospital for many years. The MRI machine was in use 24/7 for the most part. That’s just for people who actually need it. Scans take longer than people realize. So if we wanted to make it possible we’d need more machines, and more techs to run with scans which are usually the high or second highest paid a Radiology-tech can do, plus playing the radiologist to read the scans themselves, and the energy to run the machine and computers. Would cost insane amounts per year.
Alternatively people could get CT’s scans because of how fast they scan. However same issue of cost, and it would be crazy amounts of unnecessary radiation.
