Most of us know what it feels like to be frustrated with the U.S. health care system, but much needed change is happening, as the industry is working hard to move away from outdated payment models to a system that pays providers for the quality of health care, not the quantity.

This message is brought to you by the Kololo Guard test. Kolo Guard is a one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening

through a use-at-home test with none of the prep that's required of a colonoscopy.

So if you're 45 or older and at average risk,

ask your health care provider about screening for colon cancer

with the Kologard test.

You can also request a Kologard prescription today

at Kologard.com slash podcast.

Do not use Kologard if you have had

adenomas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary

cancer. False positive and negative results may occur. Any

positive result should be followed by a colonoscopy, not a replacement for colonoscopy in high-risk patients.

The COLA-GARD test is available by prescription only.
