Really admire Bill Gates his long term vision on health care and health care spending….
"Whenever you can eradicate one of these infectious disease, you get these exponential benefits. Polio’s the extreme example where we’re near the magic number of zero, so the $2 billion that the year spends protecting kids against getting polio, the day you know you’re at zero — you have to really know you’re there — then you save the $2 billion.

It’s financially the best thing that ever happened because we’re saving all that money forever after."
