    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.

        Eh, Germany has it worse. You get a total of two in your life, earliest at age 50 and they must be >=10 years apart.

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

        Beats not having any health insurance though.

      That sucks. If you have any family history of polyps or colon cancer it might be worth trying again specifically mentioning those things if you have that option.
