They are.
And its cheaper for taxpayers to have them see a doctor and get basic health care rather than wait until they’re sick and treating them gets to be expensive.
Prevention is worth a pound of cure. Health care reform needs to focus on a preventive-based approach so people don’t have to get sick in the first place.
No matter who provides and pays for health care, this is going to be the direction we’ll have to take to get health care costs under control.
Can you please define what is ‘prevention “ based healthcare?
It is a definition always being bandied around by the left.
There is nothing a physician can do to you to help prevent disease, except for monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol, regular paps and mammograms, and colon cancer screening.
The rest is really up to the patient. That means- no obesity, limit alcohol intake, dont drink and drive, no smoking.etc.
This whole prevention idea is a bunch of hogwash.There is very few areas that prevention would make much of a difference.
To think that the healthcare system, and your PCP- can really do much to prevent disease is not accurate.
