Hardly. Your post claims that "WE WAIT". What? I don't know what you're talking about. My post says that there is no provision today for uninsured preventive care, to which you replied that health care is not a right, which is irrelevant to the economics of the point I made. Then you spun off on some self serving argument highlighting the exceptions for pregnant women (and children) and Medicaid...which is fine, but doesn't invalidate what I said. Now you are making an additional point about attendance, which once again is NA to the economics and the ethics of the matter...it goes something like "people are careless or uneducated about the merits of prevention, so why should we care"...well, they still get sick, we still pay for them, so, even if you don't think it's important to care for them on ethical grounds, we should at least care for them on economic grounds.
