"Then you must have metabolic syndrome and/or heart disease."

If you take a statin, the lipid test is routine every 6 months to check liver functions....and you pretend to know all these things..

"For colonoscopies it's every two years if you're high risk. "

re: since my bro..... ergo one becomes higher risk....when we finish this discussion, which will be very soon, you're going to be about 100% smarter than you were...

"Like I posted to Mary, you seem to think it's a slander to state that Medicare doesn't cover everything one might expect to be covered. (My dad expected it to pay for his treatment for prostate cancer, which he didn't get.) But it doesn't. It doesn't cover at least the things I listed."

You haven't given the details of your dad's refusals... and what things did you list that weren't covered? Routine physicals?? Every single treatment available was covered for my brother including treatment at a center of excellence in Phila...all the chemo, the Pet Scans, the CTScans.... A friend is getting the same coverage.. But you will be limited to a B-12 shot.
