I know a couple of hypochondriacs that actually might like this. It also may make sense for the elderly. For everyone else it doesn't seem to make much sense.

For everyone else it doesn't seem to make much sense. I get a checkup once every year or two and that's pretty good.
- nlh 10y agoI see your perspective, but you're essentially arguing the point that the only people who regularly use healthcare services are 1) hypochondriacs and 2) the elderly. I think if you were to look at the data on who actually uses healthcare services and visits doctors in the US, you'd find a very different story. Certainly the elderly are a large portion of the overall cost, but I think to say "everyone else" only goes to the doctor once every 1-2 years is just not accurate.
