More costs is definitely harder on people because of bad economic times, but at the same time more and more people are signing up for government programs for care...which has its own set of issues as more people sign up for it, but the tax dollars for the programs are coming from working tax payers...
Since many of the chronic diseases and preventable diseases such as heart disease & diabetes are the ones that are prominent in morbidity now a days, we should definitely put more money into preventive medicine. The problem is the government wants to see immediate results, the people want to see immediate results and we all know that doesnt happen in preventive medicine. Unfortunately this ends up in a situation, where the best solution wont get the needed $$ because the solution does not appear to be the solution, because it's not immediate.
