Reply #19: All the same then. Those who say that this "HCR" is a panacea seems to forget that

there are tiers to affordability in our "system":

Those who have insurance and can use it whenever they like.

Those who have insurance with an incredibly high premium or deductible - generally aren't using health services as much as tier 1. Not much benefit of free health screenings - but perhaps worth going to for checking on major issues.

Those who have no insurance but, generally speaking, can go to the doctor if they need medical attention. I could dig up the money for it if I really needed to. These people are best served by free health screenings.

Those who can not afford any piece of the "best health care system in the world". Considering the living conditions - from housing to affordable diet - of those in poverty, chances are a free health screening is just another thing to be depressed about.
