  > I often wonder how different public attitudes would be towards treatment and prevention if the US healthcare system wasn’t profit driven.
in japan some prefectures or cities will send you leaflets/guides about how to get prescreening for cancer markers and early treatment for people past a certain age

i seem to also remember seeing they offer incentives like first screening only 700 yen (about 5 bucks) etc

so, yea, different systems, different incentives i guess
