while it sucks, paying for it out of pocket is probably cheaper if you can't get it covered. In the long run, $1500 as a bridge until your 40s feels cheaper than stage 4 cancer.

$1500? That sounds optimistic. I'm getting an upper endoscopy tomorrow and they've already told me it will be $4K. The equipment is similar, I expect colonoscopy is not cheaper.
