re: #32 blueraven

Reading the PDF from the CBO; it does not really support a position either way.

What it tends to say is some preventative services save money and others do not.

It has to be looked at on a case by case basis (as to the effectiveness of a particular procedure)

They do say that in total, the preventative measures do not reduce spending. I.e. when you consider all the applied measures.

When you do select only the specific effective measures, then, of course, you reduce spending, but at the cost of improving health.
