Yes! We don’t need PSA tests, mammograms, MRI’s, CAT scans, ovarian cancer checks, dermatology checkups looking for melanoma.
I mean, detecting a cancer when the patient is 63 may only lead to expensive treatment, extending that person’s life for another 30 unproductive years. Detecting a cancer when the disease is advanced means that the now 66 year old can get cheap palliative care in a hospice.

Just checked and there are a LOT of articles on that — they are all trying to “educate” people to not get tested.
I wouldn’t be surprised, in fact, I am quite suspicious that doctors are privately being told to NOT test or prescribe medications for “older” or “undeserving” people. Pay attention, you might notice this trend as well.
