>> I am not at all persuaded about the value of preventive care as a tool for cost-effectiveness. This is a fundamental premise of the socialized medicine argument that is before us today. The assumption that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Unfortunately, the exact ratio isn't known, but the suspicion amongst some well-informed people is that it is no where near the ounce/pound disparity. It seems the subscribers to the theory mostly have an agenda wrt to the health care system.
