Hopefully we can now get passed the fact that you are unquestionably incorrect. I don't need your money, but if you'd like you could maybe take the public bet and send it to a public organization promoting colonoscopies. Aside from that, you should maybe take a moment to reflect and ask yourself why you're so stubborn about this topic. Let's say that research showed that annual checkups are unnecessary and don't promote overall health, but for bureaucratic reasons you are required to see your primary care physician in order to schedule screenings like colonoscopies. Well then obviously the answer is to change the system so that that no longer is required right? Right? Why is it you can't see this? Do you think that it's literally impossible for patients to receive this information except by way of a physical exam? Like you actually can't imagine another possible approach for this information to possibly reach the patient? edit: The more I think about it, the harder it is for me to wrap my head around your position. Your point is that basically that we need to get more people at risk for certain diseases to get certain medical screenings. You are (presumably aware) that the vast majority of those people are older. Your solution to this is to tell _everyone_ regardless of age or history to go to the doctor because that is the _only_ way to get people at risk this kind of information. You even stand by this position even though there is a clear shortage in many areas of primary care physicians meaning you are making it even harder for high risk people to go to the doctor by telling low risk people to do so. How can you not see that your position is ridiculous? How can you not see that overall this practice could possibly maybe just maybe not be a good idea?
