Serious Medicine Strategy: House Majority Leader Eric Cantor Shifts the Paradigm on Healthcare–From Cuts to Cures.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) said on Wednesday: “If you cure disease, you no longer have to spend dollars towards treating the symptoms … of those diseases.”
Bingo. Of course, cures are cheaper than care. It’s cheaper to beat than to treat. That was the lesson of polio. A cure is cheaper than care.
If we want to “bend the curve” on healthcare costs–and we all do–this is the right way to do. Also the only humane way.
One has to wonder where the Congressman and this blogger have been for 3 years. This is what Obamacare is all about — preventive care in order to avoid the excessive costs of untreated illnesses that need expensive urgent care. These Rip Van Winkles need to wake up and smell the Affordable Care Act coffee.
