What else do they have to lose? The problem with the US health care system is that everything is reliant on a medical professional. Want a blood test, a medical professional has generate it. Want a ultrasound, go to a medical professional first. I am in charge of my health. I don't need no stinking doctor who could give a shit what happens to me. They get paid no matter. I should be able to schedule and pay for a full body scan if I want.

No, the problem is cost. The medical professional part is secondary because no one wants to pay for hypochondriacs who think their cough at 25 is stage 4 lung cancer based on webMD research, because getting a full body scan is expensive. If it was cheap then it wouldn't matter.

You could argue that it will stay expensive, because the medical industry is acting as gatekeepers. The prime example of this is hearing aids.
