Preventive medical care and prescription coverage will mitigate the spending down the line.

I can't think of a single liberal spending program that they didn't claim would decrease spending "down the line."

Think about the costs of medicare and medicade if we practice no preventive medicine.

It's better to keep high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems under control rather than the alternative of hospitalization.

You can keep your head in the sand but you can't deny that an ounce of preventive care is better than the alternative.

FWIW, I don't think there should be any medicare or medicade, however, it's here and we need to address the issue of cost.

And frankly, ignoring the quality of life is not unimportant.
