I thought Barry mentioned preventative health care was the key to reducing costs?

It’s cheaper to let people die then treat them...

While I agree with the proposal to reduce the frequency of mammography, and there is some research indicating that the annual PSA and prostate check is not going to pick up a lot more cancers, unfortunatel all we have regarding cancer is early detection and prevention.

The next thing will be the sigmoidoscopy over the age of 50, not being necessary.

Research is showing benefits that go beyond just lowering cholesterol for people taking statins such as Lipitor.

Also, for the treatment of pre-hypertension.

By preventing you from receiving healthcare, problem solved.

But then he found out quick deaths are cheaper.
