Although the new ObamaTax rules require health insurance policies to pay for routine colonoscopies (YMMV), that may turn out to be not much of a big deal:
"For some people, one colonoscopy at age 50 may be enough for their whole lives, a new study suggests."
The study found that folks who got a "clean bill" from their first procedure turned out to live just as long as those who repeated the process a few more times. Which isn't to say that no further effort's required:
"[F]or people who received a negative result on their first colonoscopy, it is reasonable to switch to other, less invasive methods for subsequent screenings."
Whew!
