For example Sharon Osbourne had colon cancer. Why do men get better healthcare? I had asked my doctor a few years ago (when I still had healthcare) for one and she said no.

If you are over 50 and you want one then get one. Your doctor can't tell you no and if they do find yourself another doctor.

We do. I had one in 2003 when I was 40. It depends on their insurance and their doctors. If they have a good insurance plan, they get better care. My doctor is very strict on that stuff; especially because my dad had colon cancer. That's why I had one earlier than usual.

Colonosopies are usually to people over 50 years old and they do give them to women as well as men, in fact my wife just had one.

It just depends on how old you might be. For example my wife has had one and so has my mother. But they're both fairly old. You probably don't need one if you're under 50 and you definitely don't need one if you're under 40. As for Sharon Osborne, my guess is if she wanted one she could have afforded one without insurance. I doubt she wanted one but some doc said she couldn't.

since your doctor told you no, then that means she thinks you are healthy. if she had concerns about it, she would give you one. before the age of 50, some symptom will appear for them to give you one. a spot of blood, unusual pain, etc. otherwise she will wait until you are 50 and then she will insist, even without symptoms for you to have one.
