One of the reasons free checkups are part of the medicare program is that it ultimately saves money as well as lives. Catching problems early generally makes recovery odds much better and treatment less expensive. Preventative medicine is something we need to take more seriously - we don't wait until our car engine starts smoking to change the oil.
