    I wish the men in my life would visit a doctor, get an annual check up, and take more preventative measures protecting their health.

            We pay plenty in taxes to cover healthcare already. It’s just wasted on a bloated military budget. That and lobbyists prevent any changes that would negatively impact the healthcare industry’s bottom line.

            You pay more for it in the US anyway, and don’t necessarily have anything to show for it.

            It’s just lose/lose for the US people.

            Every tiny bit of interaction with the medical system in the US costs a multitude of what the same interaction costs in other countries.

            There’s a reason why “international medical insurance” for say European travelers excludes the US by default. And if it includes US, it costs 4-10 times as much.

      I’m blessed to have good health/dental insurance and I guarantee you I make sure I get my money’s worth from it. I get my annual physicals, my required pokings and proddings, etc.

      Maybe you should talk to them first instead of wishing for them to pay for help not involving you.
