Tried to get one at 42 - they required a cola-guard screening first. Requested a cola-guard screening and insurance didn't cover it until 45. Tried to manually buy one - couple thousand dollars. So basically you can't start getting screened until 45.

Gotta love "socialized" health insurances whose legal priority is remaining economical.
