Does Preventive Care Save Money?

economicobjectorvism.wordpress.com
( No health care at all would be EVEN CHEAPER! The (R) bean counter thought process..)

Yes and no. Yes, because prevention is often worth a pound of cure, and no, because often preventive care can identify problems that are expensive to fix (as opposed to not spotting them, after which the patient’s death is less expensive. Look, I’m not a dick – that’s just the way the costs work).

That’s the short version of this quite well-argued piece in the latest New England Journal of Medicine, Does Preventive Care Save Money? Health Economics and the Presidential Candidates.

Why is it, when rational, analytical arguments are presented by some of us on this thread, you guys always turn to invective?

I posted your own cartoon...you posted it...it shows that millions are without healthcare coverage...yet you continue to deny that it is the case, nuancing your way into your posture of choice.
