Re: Health care law(PPACA) may help Baby Boomers


 

A Health Care System that focuses primarily on Prevention would be the best, and perhaps, Only Way to ever reduce our health care costs substantially. Half, or more of the health issues in this country are "Self Inflicted". Smoking and Obesity, for example, probably account for untold billions of dollars every year. If we could get Congress to quit accepting campaign donations from the tobacco industry, we might see a serious attempt at providing effective Smoking Cessation programs. Then, we Really Need a War on Obesity. These millions of Lardo's are costing us all a fortune with all the health issues they incur from their Gluttony.

"Prevention is ALWAYS far more cost effective than CURE, but our For Profit system really has no interest in killing off its Golden Goose.

Then, there is the issue of Medicare Fraud...somewhere between 50 to 100 billion a year that the thieves rake off from that program. Little more than lip service, and an occasional arrest, ever seems to take place in that arena of Crime.
