There’s this idea that a false positive means screening is not working; it’s part of why health systems argue against screening at all.

See fights over: mammography, serum PSA, Lung cancer screening, colonoscopy, etc.

I wouldn’t say most frontline doctors are personally against screening, but they hate fighting with insurance companies over this stuff, and would rather not deal with it.
