I think you're right Gregg. However, most (men at least, insurance or not)
don't go to the doctor until there's a reason (yes, I'm sure some go in for
some recommended tests - when they see Bob Dole hawking viagra etc., but
not most) and I'm sure the grapevine has passed down the
"symptoms" needed to gain admission and testing :-) I'd bet, but
won't bother to Google it, that there are already "helpful" sites
to ensure admission and further tests.
