Do you know what accounts for 75% of the healthcare dollars spent each year? Would you be surprised to know that the vast majority of these costs can be prevented?

In this excerpt from Life in California, Dr. Meltzer was invited on as a guest to discuss the root cause of our healthcare crisis in American, how the current healthcare reform policy is not addressing it, and why the future success of our healthcare delivery system is going to depend on our ability as individuals and as a society to adopt the basic principles of Preventive Medicine.
