5 Cheap-ish Ways to Take Charge of Your Health

Healthcare can get expensive fast, but taking care of yourself doesn't always have to start with a giant bill. Rebecca looks back at the low-cost clinic she ran and a sign she kept in the waiting room: "Five cheap-ish things you can do for your health."

We walk through what made her list, from a basic physical and blood work to prostate, cervical, breast, and colon cancer screening, plus some lower-cost and at-home options that may make getting started a little easier.

The goal isn't to do healthcare perfectly. It's to know what you can do, what deserves follow-up, and why doing something can be a whole lot better than doing nothing.
