Do you go to the doctor to get routine annual (once a year) check-ups? (Page 2)

Question

In the USA, it's said that Americans on average only go to the doctor when they're sick, and there is little focus on "preventative health".........such as annual check-ups on weight, bodyfat %, blood pressure, blood lipid/cholesterol level, heartbeat, etc.Being a former agent in the health and life insurance business, I know that the focus for health care has focused more on "preventative health", which makes sense because ailments can be detected more quickly, and are more quickly treated before they become full-blown and uncontrollable.  Health care is more cost and time efficient that way (sorry to state the obvious lol).-----I'm curious about how many people actually DO go to the doctor to get annual check-ups.Whether you reside in the USA or elsewhere, please vote and reply, giving as much detail as you wish.

I'm European so it's free, which means it would only be retarded not to get a routine check-up.

I'm a college student and my doctor is at home. I'll only go if I need it.

I go to the OB/GYN once a year for a checkup, but not my GP.  I try to eat healthy foods and exercise for preventative measures, though, because it's super expensive to go to the doctor.

I have enough medical problems that I end up in either a doctor's office or a hospital at least once a month.
