With that thinking I wouldn't even do the colonoscopy that I think I really need. There's many illness that are curable if detected on time.

That's different.  

The colonoscopy will determine whether or not you have an existing condition in your bowel now.  

It will tell you little or nothing about your propensity to get a condition in 10 years time.  

The dangerous information is what you might get in the future, not what you do have now.  It is dangerous because it can prevent you from getting coverage for a future condition.  And thinking about it, does Obamacare extend coverage to future conditions?

The information about what you do have now is of course crucially important and should not be delayed.

Yeah, agreed now. I donno shit about Obamacare though. In my country I am fully covered by social security for my whole life no matter what and by private medical insurance (which is only useful for faster attention for minor/rutinary things... like that colonoscopy) additionally in my case. Don't really need to care about medical costs... at all.
