You should also just pay $100 yourself? I think the bigger issue is just ease. They should deregulate these so they are simple to get

I got one covered by Cigna a few months ago. I said I had a mild chest pain and they did it plus some bloodwork. Nothing turned up but I didn’t have to pay anything extra.

Is regulation an obstacle here? From a quick search it appears you can just find a place that performs these scans and book an appointment.

I really can't believe there's anyone left who thinks deregulation solves anything. Everywhere it's tried it is a demonstrable failure. It's just an excuse for an uptick in profits at the expense of safety, the environment, etc.

Safety regulations are written in blood. They exist because people died because the industries could not and cannot be trusted to regulate themselves.

The most generous interpretation is that people conflate regulation with rent-seeking. These are two entirely different things.
