That’s only true if it’s actually a cancer that’s going to spread. Certain things like benign prostate cancer are often not worth treating. Testing everyone for everything leads to overtreatment and anxiety and worse quality of life.
I see the distinction. Thank you for clarifying. I think generally speaking I would prefer to have more data on my health. I don't like the idea that this information might be held back because it would make me "paranoid". That is my decision.
I can see that in the general case, it can lead to increased spending and worse outcomes.

Yea you can get prenuvo or a psa test by paying out of pocket. No one is holding anything back from anyone. I got a PSA test out of pocket for $60 at quest ( family history of PC) .
