Reply #88: Could he really mean that it is manatory on the companies to include [View All]

preventative care? Not, that people are forced.

Another possibility is he is reacting his own wife's situation. She has spoken of the fact that she felt quilty that she did not have the annual tests that could have caught her cancer earlier. Her comments hit many of us who had been ignoring them because life was busy. In their case, lack of insurance or cost was not the issue.

Maybe something in the middle would even be that the insurance company (or the primary doctor if the plan had one), would put out an annual computer driven mailing of postcards listing the tests you are over due on given age/ sex/ or medical condition. Odd - but I do get something like that for my DOG. Every year, I get a list of tests he needs. (The rabies shots are of course manitory, but things like professionally cleaning his teeth benefit only him. This causes us to call the vet and get them done. For adult health, it really is easy to just push things off - even for decades.
