It’s obscenely short-sighted that American insurance companies refuse to lean into preventative care. One would think that from a purely profit-driven motive they would want us as healthy as possible. I can usually get my head around things like this that seem bullshit on the surface, be able to spot a motive. This one has always stumped me.
Only idea I got is that there would be an initial cost to getting this started with results coming down the road. We need CEOs with balls like my last one who told the board we were purposefully going in the red for two years to build our people and products. They applauded that and then we fucked around and made a profit anyway.
I think the idea here is to provide as little care as possible to save money then try to deny care later when problems come up. Then they save on not paying for preventative care and the care that comes later!
Dont forget medicare fraud.
