@AstroTheGamosian not really the place to discuss this, but don't be biased because of tragic stories like this. These are the stories that impress people and stick. But you'll never hear about all the young people that got a colonoscopy for no medical reason where everything was good. Too many of these make health care unaffordable. Also, you'll never hear about the people that were treated or had surgery for 'irregularities' in their colon but it turned out to be completely benign. They were done more harm by being diagnosed and treated instead of doing nothing. This is how public screening programs are discussed, compare the quality of life won by early diagnoses of cancer compared to overtreatment and costs. That said, of course this is a very tragic story and it shouldn't be like this and I understand your primary emotional reaction. But please don't think you have the solution, it's not how good and affordable health care works.
