“the U.S. health care system spends an estimated $7.8 billion on mammograms each year.”
This is the mentality of the central planner and the act as thought it is a government expense.
It is paid for by individuals, often in contract with an insurance company. There is no “US health care system”.
That is like adding up what we spend on groceries and calling it the US food shopping system.
Also, life expectancy is 78 years. So at age 68, they have decided it’s time to quit testing you.
There is a disease among doctors these days. They are all suddenly MBAs on the most effective way of distributing healthcare. They are collectivist azzholes and never seem to notice that all of their tools, procedures, tests, beautiful hospitals etc came about for one reason only....somebody decided they can make a buck.
That why we have something like 5 times more MRI machines per capita than most countries.
