Despite the
extraordinary energy exerted in trying to delay the inevitable, the
inconvenient fact is we all die. So it is no surprise, writes David
Harsanyi, that "preventive" health care, that game-changing fix
trotted out relentlessly by both Democrats and Republicans, is so
appealing. And like many cure-alls, it's a myth. Moreover, Harsanyi
continues, there is one vital aspect of preventive health care that
many health care professionals and bureaucrats simply refuse to
accept: Some of us can't be helped.
