re: #857 opnion

Those items you speak of are worthy, but they actually cost money. If the idea is to contain costs, then something has to give. That’s the problem with the way everyone seemingly conflates access to health care and the delivery of said care to the patient with the cost for said care.

People want a free ride, but nothing is free. It costs someone something. Is preventative care cost effective in the long run? Perhaps - but the longer one lives, the more money a person will spend on health care over their lifetime - a conundrum. The Democrats lie when they say that their plans will not result in rationing of care, because that’s at the heart of cost control.
