An Ounce of Prevention is Worth What?
This article, from the respected Cato Institute dispels the myth that I hear perpetuated so often by those who testify/lobby for the health care industry that if we (legislators, government) would only "invest money now, on the front end" that it would save us money in the long run. Though I have long held this belief, verification from the Cato Insitute is satisfying.

Ha! That's probably because PREVENTION isn't targeted to those likely to GET the disease. My grandfather smoked all his life and died in his 90s after a broken hip.
If we can figure out WHO is likely to get the disease, then prevention MIGHT pay off a little better.
