You were quoted as saying that the benefits of healthy residents probably outweighs the additional cost of insuring them. I have been looking for an analysis to support that notion, and would love to find out if there are any generally accepted numbers to be used. Would be happy to tell you more about who I am or why I'm asking if we can communicate by email.
