With our current health care system those uninsured would not benefit from this except by gaining some understanding of a disease that they may have. They do not have the insurance or money to seek out routine care to guarantee their future health. Those with insurance or means to seek out care may not follow up with their doctors. We can not be sure that the costs will not out way the benefits.
