WSRE | Inside Healthcare: Preventive Medicine

http://www.wsre.org/health - Why the U.S. health care system puts more emphasis on treating disease than preventing it. In the United States nearly 40% of premature deaths are attributed to unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, poor diets, lack of exercise and uncontrolled stress. What does this neglect do to individual health and that of our healthcare system? A local expert panel of guests will explore why the U.S. health care system puts more emphasis on treating disease than preventing it and what the benefits could be if it were reversed. Taped from WSRE's town hall meeting, part of an ongoing health care initiative aimed at addressing the local community's important health issues.

Even worse, the insurance companies are now denying coverage for tests that can spot health issues in a patient. Disgusting practice.
