Eighty percent of medical cost is incurred by 20% of patients. It is a rule that is unsustainable if all people are patients. Modifying the conditions changes the population to which the 80/20 rule applies. When 100% of people practice preventive health care, then 20% are patients.

Optimum health is a philosophy; a way of life; a lifestyle. It means that you are commited to achieve the best health status possible for you, your family and your community. It means that your community is commited to health promotion and disease prevention.
