I haven't looked for statistics recently, but a couple years ago I saw that 80% of all illnesses were considered "Preventable" and they accounted for (roughly) 90% of healtcare costs ... Now, I could be wrong but I suspect that healthcare actually matches the old cliche of "A dime of prevention is worth a dollar of cure"

The problem is how do you convince people to live a healthier lifestyle?

Companys that give you healthcare actually offer bonus' now for living healthier.  They also used to make you pay more if you lived unhealthier but they of course got sued.
