The truth is, the fastest way to get heart disease, autism, glaucoma, diabetes, vascular problems, osteoporosis or cancer ... is to be screened for it.

Right, right. Because if you don't know that you have a medical condition, you don't have it. Much better to let heart disease or diabetes progress until they're impossible to ignore and either far more difficult or impossible to treat. Makes perfect sense.

What nonsense. This drive to remedy the dreaded problem of "overdiagnosis" - otherwise known as good preventive medicine - is not in the best interests of patients. It's being done as a way to control costs - Obama blathered some of this nonsense when he was trying to peddle Obamacare to an unwilling nation.

Right. Cause I’d rather wait until I am losing toes to find out I have diabetes.

Is it just me, or is this article absolutely batpoop crazy?
