Regular health checks offered to all people (for free) at different times in their life is a good idea. However, there is a widespread belief that health checkups are more important in later life (e.g. after age 40) because many conditions are more likely to develop in later years. I like the idea of general health checks available to all regardless of age, but I don't know what this means in terms of cost (presumably high). In the UK, the NHS (National Health Service) offers a free health check to anyone aged 40 to 75 (which can be re-taken every 5 years): https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-health-check/ https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/nhs-health-check/
