The focus of preventive care is on keeping people HEALTHY. HEALTHY people spend less money on health care. Many of us are feeling the effects of a tough economy and rising health care costs. However, we must remember to think about the number one priority - our health.
Many serious health problems are preventable. We all know that getting an annual check-up is necessary, but are not familiar with alternative health care options. Often misinterpreted or even disregarded, alternative health care is a pro-active way to help ourselves. A growing number of traditionally-trained physicians practice interpreted medicines, which is defined as "conventional medical care that incorporates strategies that include herbal remedies" - (The National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicines).
In fact, medical professionals and politicians from around the world have strongly supported preventive care. President Obama has called for the expansion of preventative care benefits along with support on spending more towards prevention and public health. Mike Huckabee has said that a focus on prevention “would save countless lives, pain and suffering by the victims of chronic conditions, and billions of dollars.”

So true! I rather spend my money on preventative care than go to a doctor anytime.
