How come the NHS doesn't do this in the UK, I wonder? If I went to my NHS doctor and said I felt fine but asked for a general health-check and blood test they'd tell me to GTFO.

WTF, in France you're encouraged to do so, and there are even reminders by (e)mail for stuff like dentist and specific preventive checkups for women.

They do specific checkups like breast screening, but if you asked for a generic 'yearly checkup' they'd call you a time waster and probably write something on your record!
