This is a terrific conversation. Just too many links!

Nobody in my family dies of anything, so I'm skipping the colonoscopy and mammogram indefinitely. I'm "old" now so the government nags me about them now and will pay for them.

I do spend quite a bit out of pocket for vitamins and other supps. Where's the government when you really need it?
