Cancer patients are penalized for not undergoing screening tests

Dr. Bernstein on Germany’s proposal:

Patients with chronic illness currently pay up to a 1% maximum of their gross income for their health care, whereas the cancer patients who did not screen would have to pay up to a 2% maximum . . . But the ethical issue is whether patients who are suffering the emotional and physical pains of cancer should have another burden, a penalty of not having been screened for their disease.
