Total idiot when it comes to medical stuff, but if the screening shows a tumor, and you catch it early on, wouldnt that be beneficial? And if its not, then you gain peace of mind
The statisticians at the insurance company are concerned that the sum of the risk of unnecessarily removing 10 gallbladders is greater than missing a single tumor in early-stages.
Oh man, I had no idea that the decision of whether to rent or buy skis required calculus to solve. I just figured that if you ski more than say, 3 times a season, it's probably better to own your own gear for reasons unrelated to the entry cost, but more to do with comfort, tuning, quality, and so on. Anyone who has rented skis knows that the rental fleets are trashed.
This doesn't include the "Checked Bag fee" variable. Which is a significant component if you live somewhere you have to fly to ski.

They stay in lanes, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, backup and surround cameras, blindspot indicators, pedestrian braking, parallel park assist, side airbags much more common, and they get tested in offset crashes. But phone use while driving cuts back a lot of the gains.
Many of those features encourage or enable easier phone use while driving. Backup cameras existed in 2009…

I’ve heard of this, also known as concierge medicine right?
But the figures I’ve seen quoted for such service usually begin in the four digits, sometimes five digits, annually.
I've anecdotally done some research and in SoCal a true concierge medicine for what I would be looking for with a brick-and-mortar location and imaging on-site is ~$5000/yr.
