And yet the cost of healthcare continues to skyrocket

  Yeah but none of this has anything to do with healthcare as it's popularly understood. If you take drug overdoses, suicide and maybe homicide out then things don't look that bad. This isn't any of the things that people complain about when they say healthcare is too expensive. No doctor is going to convince me not to like getting high so much that I'll take a chance on dying for it or that when I say I could just kill a man I'm not singing along with Rage Against The Machine. Anti-depressive drugs are in theory wonderful but I'm unconvinced (and please someone, convince me I am wrong) that the suicide rate wouldn't be up if more people were taking them.

  I'm not sure why anyone would think that a less healthy population would reduce the cost of healthcare.
