NEW YORK – It is hard to find anyone in health care who does not believe that spending $100 now on healthy behavior – exercise and proper nutrition, counseling for pre-diabetics, risk monitoring, and so on – could yield more than $200 in reduced costs and improved outcomes later. The numbers are fuzzy, of course, and there are plenty of methodological caveats, but there is little dispute about the desirability of such an approach.
纽约—在卫生界，几乎人人都认为，现在花100美元用于卫生行为——锻炼和合理营养、前期糖尿病咨询、风险监测等——能够在未来节省200多美元，还能改善结果。当然，这个数字是模糊的，充满了方法论的漏洞，但对于追求这样的方式则很少人有异议。
