10,000 pa die from cancer through lack of scan in the US?

More people die in America from "Lack of Insurance" than die from auto accidents. 50,000 versus 33,000. That's one reason that Obama was elected. Voter rage over these kinds of stats is growing quickly!

A very close friend was just diagnosed with colon cancer by having an MRI for a bowel obstruction. He had surgery to remove half his colon, and will have a colonoscopy every years from now on. He's 100% disabled and can't work, and he has state insurance that pays whatever his primary insurance doesn't pay. However, if I get a bowel obstruction, I will probably die. I live in Nevada.

the machines are very expensive to maintain and to even get one would require a lot of money and time

Over 15,000 die each year from Car accidents as well

So, whose fault is that, if they don't want to get screened for Cancer who says they have to, we have the ability to do the screens, what is your point.
