title: The price of prevention.
abstract: Supporters of the health system reform law hope a whole lot of prevention - and free prevention, at that - will significantly reduce Americans' mortality and morbidity from cancer, smoking, obesity, vaccine-preventable illnesses, and other diseases. A provision of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires health plans to cover a wide array of preventive care services without charging patients copayments, coinsurance, or deductibles.
