For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

Checking for prostate cancer is super easy now and doesn't even require a finger in your bum. It's a simple blood test that is far more accurate than the traditional manual method. I get one done every time I have a physical since they just add it on to the other stuff they check my blood for.

Swear to god I'd rather take a finger in the ass than a needle in my arm

PSA sucks, it has both low sensitivity and low specificity.
