Prevention

On the Fox News Channel show they are talking about how it will be paid for by prevention.  The example of how this works is smoking: we pay for doctors to talk to their patients and get them to stop smoking.  So, is the reason Obama is still smoking that he can't afford to have a talk with his doctor? 

Seriously, all the savings predicated on people changing their behavior en mass because their primary care doctors give them lectures on how they should eat are just risible.
