The cost of health care is ballooning in the U.S.A. with no end in sight to the trend despite the fact that we know how to limit and decrease it through preventive medicine. To reverse this non-sensible and soon-to-be unsustainable situation, this paper re-iterates why preventive medicine is the best solution to control expenditure and improve mortality and morbidity across the board. It analyses different medical conditions and corporate interventions to make the case de novo at a crucial time and outlines some major obstacles to change. The author calls for prompt and drastic action in the form of a prevention Marshal-like national plan with information mass campaigns.
