1. Millions more people recieve preventative treatment, and full and timely care for serious conditions 2. These people are then able to go to work more fully and frequently 3. The increased tax revenue, decreased unemployment/disability/deprivation payments and reduced cost of repeat emergency healthcare offsets any additional expense Please understand that this kind of welfare makes complete economic sense. |
Unfortunatley what you stated simply isnt true, but it sells the law. Preventative care has been shown not to reduce health care costs but actually increase them because as with all top down operations everybody gets screened for everything and the preventative measures just end up costing more money than if you just went to the doctor for the serious illness, thats why all the big medical companies and insurance providers love prevantative care, they can charge you more co-pays and doctors can charge outrageous prices for literally nothing, its a win, win for healthcare, unless of course you are the consumer.
europe is running away from national healthcare as they realize they cant afford it, but thats the great part of socialized anything it always takes several generations to run out of other peoples money so eventually everyobe forgets where the problem started.
Like it or not the solution is less government intervention and greater interaction between doctor and patient...the trend has already begun with doctors walking away from socialized schemes to create their own group plans. Dont be surprised to see the government try and outlaw this practice in the next few years in the name of equality.
