Healthcare is a reasonable sounding term. No one could possibly be against caring for health. The problem with any no-brainer concept like healthcare is in the fulfilment. It is often the case that balance is thrown out the window as time goes forward.
In the beginning reasonable steps are taken considering such things as behavioral changes, doctor visits and catastrophic health insurance with high deductibles. Over time, however, health consciousness becomes obsessive. Doctor visit frequency increases. More tests are run. Medications are increased.
With technological advances life expectancy increases. Sicker people live longer requiring even more doctor visits, tests, medications and procedures. Insurance premiums rise along with deductibles. The behavioral and economic results should not be a surprise.
