I ignored the growth on my neck and sore throat. Then found I was a level 4 cancer sufferer. And I live in a country of free health care, no excuses except I was stupid. What happens when the excuse is "I can't afford to get a good check up"? Be it on a health care plan or not.

It's cheaper to get people treated early.
