Would it, or would it simply delay the bill? Every one of us must pay the final price at some point.

- melling 3y agoDying healthy in your sleep at home costs society a lot less. No expensive medications, hospital visits,in home nursing, etc I suppose if everyone lived, say 5 years longer, and only delayed a disease by 5 years, it would be a break even in cost. Although, who wouldn’t want 5 more healthy years?
- brokencode 3y agoI’d personally rather die suddenly due to a heart attack or stroke rather than struggle with severe mental degeneration over a period of years before dying.
- BurningFrog 3y agoThis is an argument against all healthcare.
- francoisdevlin 3y agoNot quite. It's simply an argument that the money will end up back in healthcare, just maybe further down the line, and maybe that's okay. Just remember that as everything else gets cheaper, the percentage that is spent on healthcare must increase.
