The topic of universal health care is actively debated in the US. Some people have adopted a position that universal health care is less ideal than our current fee-for-service model. As they explore the merits of their position, they try adopting various arguments. He tried adopting the argument that universal healthcare leads to more access to care, which leads to more interventions between diagnosis and death for people with cancer. However, and perhaps our responses help persuade him of this, that argument ignores the vast middle ground of people who survive several years or even are effectively cured for life. It also, as my prior comment pointed out, ignores the value of routine screening, especially at the extremes of age.
