>> Your main point is that people live longer and that costs are proportional to lifespan. No, my main point is that Obama has claimed that preventive care saves money and that is a lie. There is no way he possibly can believe it, yet he has used this as a justification for health care reform. Which makes it, not an honest mistake, but a lie. And there are instances, like the one we're discussing, where preventive care is not only vastly more expensive, it also just doesn't materially improve outcomes.
