Walk into a US gastro with a hang nail and you'll walk out with a colonoscopy requisition.

They make money on the procedure, not the office hours. And they write the standards of care.

That being said, my father delayed a screening, developed colon cancer, and now no longer has a colon. Would cheaper / higher compliance tests have caught it sooner? Hard to say.
