You could argue that, but you'd be wrong. Preventative care and regular checkups are what keep costs DOWN, because they find problems early.
Which is cheaper, regular checkups of diet and acid-reflux medicine, or surgery for ulcers?
Which is cheaper, regular out-patient mental health checkups, or commitment to a state institution?
Which is cheaper, regular treatment of asthma symptoms or emergency room treatment of asthma attacks?
What's cheaper, regular treatment for the symptoms of heart disease, adjustments to diet and cholesterol drugs, or quadruple bypasses?
