An Institute of Medicine study concludes that about 40% of premature deaths in the U.S. are due to bad behavior. Only about 10% are because of poor medical care.
Social and physical environment contribute about 20% to the premature death figure and genetics 30%. So why take a wrecking ball such as ObamaCare to remedy what can be easily done?
Give people without insurance who cannot afford it free insurance vouchers, and see that everyone gets insurance, even if not currently insurable.
And finally, and most importantly, put a cap on insurance payoffs by having malpractice tort reform. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
