RE: No money for healthcare and opportunity lost

But prevention isn't as lucrative as a treating. I won't even say cure, because that's not very lucrative either.

As hubby watches more things on common law and the removal of freedoms, I'm starting to realise that things like the Magna Carta being signed were never for the sake of the people as we see them now, they were for the noblemen. The majority of the populous were still serfs and not even considered to be in the class of "Men." Over the years we've started to see ourselves as people with equal rights, but those in the positions of power who earn from us never have. We are still just the product.

I feel like we can be viewed like a farm. A smaller scale farmer will be more likely to look after his flock, putting preventative measures in place, because any loss is going to have an impact on the bottom line. A large scale farm can afford to lose a few, so preventative measures are a cost that eats into his profits. Cheaper to treat a problem if it comes up. Then, of course, there is also the point where a farm is exceeding capacity...
