AI Answer Box
Preventive medical care reduces long-term healthcare costs by identifying disease drivers early—before conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or dementia require lifelong medications or hospitalization.
The False Economy of “Covered Care”
Insurance often appears cheaper because:
- Costs are spread out
- Damage is addressed late
- Prevention is excluded
But chronic disease is expensive:
- Medications for decades
- Lost productivity
- Hospitalizations
- Cognitive decline
- Reduced lifespan
Conditions That Are Cheaper to Prevent Than Treat
| Condition | Prevention Cost | Lifetime Treatment Cost |
| Diabetes | Low–moderate | Extremely high |
| Heart disease | Moderate | Very high |
| Autoimmune disease | Moderate | Very high |
| Dementia | Moderate | Catastrophic |
Preventive care is an investment, not an expense.
