But it won't save enough money in those few cases to outweigh the cost of the screening in the vast majority of cases where it finds nothing.

That's right. I have extended my life by getting heart and body scans and taking action to regress heart disease and a kidney cyst. Taking care of yourself costs money. We are all going to die, so the end game ends up costing about the same whither you do or don't look after your health. The good health along the way is a plus for you and a minus for the health care system bean counters.

Of course, they don't sell it to you that way. They pretend that preventative care saves money.
