    That’s a bold assumption. While prevention may be the right thing to do for patients’ sake, it rarely saves money. Last time I checked, very few preventive measures save money except for vaccines in children and young adults. Often, if we live longer , we develop more expensive long term diseases.

      When was the last time you checked? And where? And how deep in the sand was your head when you did so?

        Within the last year. This is what I do for a living, I advise patients on preventive care every day. What’s in their interest differs from what saves money for the whole population though.
        You seem pretty sure I’m wrong based on your insult, where did you find evidence that it saves money?
