Comments

1. Obsidian Reaper: I'm not sure I buy the idea that a single health MOT is enough to make a real difference in someone's life, especially when you consider all the other systemic issues at play
2. Ethandiazxo: I've seen similar programs in other countries, but what's the follow-up? How do they actually address the underlying issues?
3. Iron Specter: I'm still surprised they're putting the horse before the cart, but I suppose getting people tested for cholesterol is a necessary first step
4. Mirage Shard: i'm still waiting for them to address the real health disparities in this country

9. Elias: I'd love to see more emphasis on treating the root causes of these conditions, not just slapping on Band-Aids. How are we really going to address mental health if we
10. Mirage Nomad: sounds like Dr Lawson is still trying to fix the symptoms, not the disease
11. Diegofalkxo: what's the endgame here, just adding screening tests without actual policy changes?
