We can hope to mitigate the costs by doing preventive medicine or we can pay triple the amount later.
Do you do any preventive maintenance on your home or car? Do you wait till you're broken down on the road and then wonder what went wrong?
Checkups can make the difference between a minor adjustment or a major repair.

If we're going to go down that road, then the prescription drug program, Medicare, Medicade and Social Security are like throwing money at a lemon. It doesn't work. Eventually, you have to get a new car.
This is going to happen anyway. The more government gets involved the more prices are going to go up. Why? Because government will start mandating what's covered and what's not. It all starts out innocently, but then gets added on and on and on and never ends.
It's the closest thing to eternal life, government. And this is a government program. One that is sure to grown beyond your wildest expectations. One that will leave my grandchildren paupers after the taxman gets it all to pay for my prescription drugs, Social Security. No thank you.
Give me the market. Spur competition and we'll have competitive prices. But these kinds of issues are emotional and tend to lead to the belief that healthcare is a right.

Yes I do preventive maintenance on MY car i dont hire a band of armed thugs to take money from my neighbors and force them to give it to me to do maintenance on my car and everyones car on my block. I take care of things in my life with my money you know the conservative thing to do but i guess you wouldnt know anything about that since you think its better for the feds to take care of your family then it is for you to take care of them and btw where you oneof the thousands of freepers that where on here bitching like crazy about how communist and fascist hillary health care was when she proposed that because she didnt have a big red R on the chest of her blue tights when she proposed it?
