I have been challenging is the notion that a healthier lifestyle somehow produces a lower lifetime cost

I'm all for healthier lifestyles, for prevention and early detection... but imo the assumption that this will decrease healthcare costs is not based on anything. The most it can do is that people will - on the average - start getting sick a little later. Having a larger older population would be a good thing, but not in a sense of saving money.
