Experts: Trump’s MRI Not Standard Preventive Care

Medical experts are raising concerns about the White House’s description of Donald Trump’s MRI tests as “preventive.” Experts, including radiologists and physicians, state that routine MRI screenings of the heart and abdomen are not standard medical practice, as they are typically reserved for individuals with existing conditions or specific medical concerns.

The system seems broken, a sentiment that resonates deeply. Many believe a complete overhaul, like the single-payer models seen in most other developed countries, is the only real solution.
