No one has free universal checkups for people over 40?

Shoudln't that be part of universal healthcare? I mean preventitive healthcare is just cost effective.

Free Checkups should be common sense.

 

 Well, basically, as it stands, you can only really go to a GP if you feel you have something wrong with you, and the examine for free (at point of sale).

This means that you can go and get a checkup for the sake of having a checkup just in case anything is wrong with you.

Which is really the way to do things... at least somewhat right?  I mean isn't it advised to have like... a checkup every 6th months or so even if you feel fine?
