That’s not how it should work!!! It works that way for many knuckleheads who take better preventative care of their automobiles than they do of their bodies. Pay for a first class physical - at least every three years.
Our health system isn’t built like this. Its all about treating a problem after it has started. It’s always been strange to me.

Isn’t this the truth. Once you turn 65 (or whatever age for you younger folks), everything changes. But getting the right monitoring in place for those high risk hereditary issues is definitely something you should do.
Prostate cancer is completely survivable but without regular screening, it can be missed and spread to other parts of your body.
Walk a couple miles a day, lay off the booze and cigarettes or other tobacco products and you’ll do just fine. Hell, even a little grass brownies are good for you in moderation.

Then take money out of your own pocket and pay for a physical. $5,000 every three or four years. You pay that for automobiles.

In the article she mentions getting a head and neck scan to make sure her prior neck surgery was still doing fine. That's why they found the blockage. An ordinary person's insurance won't cover that and it's hard to justify paying several thousand dollars out of pocket "just in case" when you don't have any symptoms.
