    I don’t think that’s true.

    Health insurance is expensive in the US. Many sites indicate an average monthly cost in the $400-$600 range, and given it’s average also means it can be even higher.

    That’s $4800 - $7200 a year, vs a 1 time $2400 if they are in the average cost area for a colonoscopy.

    It’s not great, many people can’t afford that either, but it’s not true that if you can’t afford insurance, you can’t afford $2400
