10. Are you saying screening for cancer and other diseases does nothing for the patient?

I agree that Obamacare did not go far enough and insurance companies still make too much money. But you seem to be saying that preventative care does nothing for the patient.

Edited to add that a visit can switch from preventative to diagnostic if something is found but telling people to avoid going to a doctor because they might be diagnosed with something is REALLY bad advice. Finding health issues early is a good thing and preventing them is even better. All of which these preventative visits are for.
