Yep.
When I turned 50 back in 2016, I looked at all the data to get an answer to the question “what medical care do I need if I feel good?” My conclusion looking at the data was “almost nothing.” Annual exams? No benefit found. Prostate cancer checks? Better off without them. Cholesterol checks? Better to focus on good diet and exercise.
Here’s one point of evidence. We spend almost 17 times per capita on health care than Albania does and we live on average 9 months longer.
IIRC Dr. McCoy in one of the Star Trek movies time travelling back to our time called our medical care barbaric. :)
