I might of added the preventive word, as opposed to the article that stated that people without insurance who would be getting could actually have heart disease, diabetes, or cancer.

If you have Insurance you are more likely to go to the Doctor, and hopefully that visit will detect these illnesses before they progress into something that major.

When you do not have Health Insurance you never get a check up, or preventive intervention. I know my Doctor visits have taught me about high blood pressure and diabetes, thanks to that Doctor visit and some medicine for high blood pressure and his words about my diet, those problems have been solved for now.

I do not even take blood pressure medicine anymore, I leaned from those Doctor's visits that simple changes in lifestyle can prevent a lot of major medical expenses.

Preventive medicene that you can get from seeing a Doctor is so much cheaper than letting diseases like heart, diabetes, and cancer run there course until you have to seek emergency room treatment, that's really much more expensive.
