I got to go every 3 years, some of the polyps they cut out are the kind that turns to cancer.

Say you do the test and it comes back you got cancer. You have no insurance or money for the treatment. More lotion!

Harbor Freight has those handheld inspection cameras on a flexible shaft About as thick as a ink pen..... $29.95 When done looking for polyps you can find the crack in your trucks exhaust manifold. Almost pays for itself, I would say. . LOL

Doesn't Iowa offer some sort of state run health care or have a medical assistance program? Check with your department of human services. They should be able to help.
You are a good example of who the government should be helping first instead of giving free medical care for illegal immigrants. This is what bothers me most about this present administration.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Boco, don't be rich with your advice on not paying, if your working your paying for your service's, through your taxes, you leave that out a lot in your examples !!
Coonman, you need another regular exam thats the bottom line, you have to decide how badly you wish to have it, to warn you of any thing coming down the tube, so to speak !
Lots of things happen when we age, some we can get notice with early warning, scanning is one of these tools, if your playing the lottery with your body and already know about non-cancerous stuff, it's a short throw to cancerous really in the scheme of the previous scan.
Your gamble, you wish to be around longer or have the doctor give you an estimate how long !
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

Good grief, go sign up for Obamacare. You will have immediate coverage at little if any cost to you. It is based on your income. If you can get on trapperman, you should have all the technology you need to sign up, or at least get a price.

Dave, contact an local insurance agent that specializes in health insurance! They will explain all your options; what you qualify for (medicaid, obamacare, private carrier), level of coverages, premium costs, etc. They will explain what is covered, who you can see, level of your personal payment liability, hada, hada, hada. AND THEY DON'T CHARGE YOU FOR THE SERVICE ... FREE!
The current government administration has provided excess financial help for insurance costs during the pandemic compared to past years based on total income. Bad things are: this financial help won't exist for ever. Insurance periods renew every year so you got to go thru the process every years. There are only 5 months left in this year's insurance cycle. Get everything done before the end of the year for one deductable ... Scope, knees, and whatever else ails ya.
As always though, you won't act on any advise offered by anyone.

When had done they say almost all men 50 older have polyps, mine no cancerous, watch them take out tv screen, get ready worse but if pay no ins, they go max price, no agreement on price ins co, noway I afford, can't get no help Medicaid or nothing, u got make like $1100 or less $1200 month, gross, not sure but u be done, they won't take payments, I say cash or ins, or say sorry , u have blood if bad, I have no symptoms, but I rember younger in 20s , men at factory younger me dead cancer, I can think several right off refuse colonscope an when if did, to late, lay around an die , I rember hear them say had blood, colon exam worse years ago, guys wouldn't go it, common cancer 50 older , not far off 61 I had the wind talkers decipher this and this is what they came up with; When I had this done, they say almost all been 50 and older have polyps. Mine are not cancerous, but I watched them take them out on a TV screen. They may get worse but if I pay with no insurance, they may charge me the max price. There's no agreement on price with the insurance company. There's no way I can afford this. I can't get any help from Medicaid or anything because I make $1100 to $1200 per month gross. I'm not sure what can be done, and they won't take payments. I say cash or insurance and they say you will have blood in stool if bad. I have no symptoms, but men at the factory younger age dead from cancer. I can think of several right off the top of my head who refused colonoscopies until it was too late and they died. I remember hearing them say that colon exams were worse years ago and that guys wouldn't go in and it was common cancer at age 50 and over. I'm far past that at 61. The Injuns just submitted their invoice for this translation; $49,765.
