Producing a healthier young population that requires fewer high cost
procedures later in life is the easiest way to reduce what are now a
totally runaway costs to a more manageable level while at the same
time improving over all health of the nation.

Essentially, that's the same as saying the entire county population has to
undergo a complete lifestyle change. What are the chances of that happening?
Sounds good in theory and in practice, but it ain't going to happen in a
dozen lifetimes.
