And yeah knowing your body is important, but it's statistically proven that regular screenings for certain types of cancers at recommended ages are what will save you.

Ugh, you sound like my ex (oncology nurse) with this statistically proven shit.
I get it.
I hate it, but I get it.

Eh, or just be like the thousands of other men who wait til it's too late. Metastatic cancer is really a much better alternative.

My dad never did annual exams or any of that shit.
One day, in his early 40s, his body spoke to him (sorry - he felt some fucking pain he hadn't before).
He caught it early, went through treatment (said no to chemo), and he's about to turn 60 next month.
"I won the lottery."
I'm young so of course I'm dumb when it comes to what I think is right as far as healthcare. I have this idealistic notion that my faith in my body (spiritual) and trust in my myself will help me avoid anything like that.
And hell, I have enough mental shit to deal with that I'd hope the G-O-D would spare me some of that other stuff. As twisted as that might sound, I believe that.
And faith is important in your health and wellbeing. So what the fuck.

I never said it wasn't. A person's in tune-ness with their body is absolutely the most important factor, but the fact is that certain cancers (in fact many, or most) aren't often detected by people until they've already gotten out of hand. That's just how cancer is, and why it's essential to take advantage of early screening. Isn't that shit free down there? Pretty fucking sad if it isn't. Dumb Americans.

Free? In America? What exactly? Lol.
I've taken healthcare into account when thinking about my future home.
I have three citizenships - American, Canadian, Polish.
So, if I were to make health my priority, where would I go?
The country that makes me the happiest or the one that has the best healthcare system?

Well, where happiness is so is health. But you can't plan for everything, and God forbid you ever got into an accident or needed surgery, or had any kind of actual health emergency and then had to worry about paying for it on top of trying to recover and focus on healing. The stress alone would fuck you so hard.
It isn't wise to live as though you are invincible. If only it wasn't late and I was better at articulating in writing. I could lecture the fuck outta you lol.

You never had the fingers shoved up your arse for your military physical?
I can name many worse reasons that getting older sucks, as having a finger in your ass is kind of awesome. Granted, it is better if you are being blown, but I still go for biweekly checkups as my insurance is cool like that.

Nope, no fingers in the ass.
Just a bend over and spread them, which I've done on numerous occasions outside of the army (yea, I know, this leaves me OPEN to the jokes).
No porns and gey sex, though. Just jail (booking - not inside the facility LOL).
