"We had to make it harder for people to access preventative healthcare, it's just too wasteful!"

We're letting those preventable issues turn into real issues that put a constant strain on what precious little healthcare resources we do have, and it results in people dying in waiting rooms. I'm not sure how that's less wasteful.

But hey, this a just another instance of conservatives doing and saying anything to wrest the healthcare system out of the public's hands.

From a business standpoint it makes perfect sense, any money the government invests into preventative medicine now, is money they miss out on from treating the symptoms once healthcare is privatized.
