"In those 22 years I have never had a colonoscopy for screening. I knew it was time but since no one in my family, that I knew of, had colon cancer, I figured it was a calculated risk. Because under the old health insurance paradigm, I knew if I had polyps, health insurance going forward could be rescinded or denied in the future. With the advent of Obamacare (Affordable Care Act), those fears were no longer there. First, the cost of the colonoscopy was covered by my insurance policy, and no matter what was found, I would still maintain my policy, and going forward I could still shop for any other policy like anyone else. Suffice it to say, two polyps were removed and it were the type that, over the years, could have turned cancerous. I think it is safe to say Obamacare saved me at least money and maybe my life."
