My fiancé was just diagnosed with cancer and had we Had mandatory MRIs and PET scans done yearly or bi yearly we would’ve called it sooner. Please let us get MRIs. Let us get scans to make sure that we’re not cancerous. We don’t have illnesses that are going undetected. These doctors do not care and these insurance companies won’t pay for them and they are very expensive!!

Something like easier/cheaper/have insurance anssist with access to executive physicals would save so many lives.
Mandatory anything should be abolished. Annual checkups that include blood testing for active alpha-fetoprotein, vitamin D3 levels, DHEA (not DHEA-S levels) & cortisol index, HOMA-IR, along with BMI, waist circumference, and blood pressure will likely uncover if there is a possibility of chronic disease including cancer. Frankly, we have not studied the long term effects of MRIs and/or PET scans, and I am sure they do not promote health. For the only MRI I had (on the neck), the next day it felt like I had lead in my blood and I could not get off the couch. I also got shingles activated at the base of my spin. This would tend to suggest that even minimal MRIs could be strongly immunosuppressive and/or damaging to the nervous system.
I would endorse that the federal government sponsor the above mentioned blood testing and evaluation once a year and collect this into a database that is updated in real time. If this analysis was made publically available by sex and age, it would help people understand how impactful the new health policies would be for Americans. Once again, mandatory anything should NEVER be considered, and there is a need to measure the long term health impact of MRIs and PET scans. By the way, there is also the need to abolish mammogram screening by ionizing radiation as there is no sense in inducing breast cancer just to say that it could be imaged.
