I have worked in health insurance for 15 years. Now liberals are saying that for 15 years health insurance did not know it could save money by offering free preventive care. Wow thank god for the liberals because without them we would keep losing money. But we are not dumb. We tried this and even funded a study. In fact there have been many studies on this. This is a perfect example of why liberals just dont get it.
You see it sounds good that if you provide preventive services for free then less people will get sick. In academia it makes perfect sense only humans are anything but perfect. The truth is the ones that took preventive measures still did so only now for free. Even if they did not need them the still did them because they were free. So the usual responsible individuals that acted safe and took preventive seriously still did so just more so since it all was free. But guess what the careless people that are usually the ones that get sick still got sick. Cost wise it was a disaster.
But now the liberals are coming and telling us they are going to help us save money by forcing us to provide preventive services for free. Yes, they say it is going to pay for itself. It is genius we health insurance people that are in the business to make money are just really dumb. We could not figure out that preventing someone from getting sick with something that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars would save us money. We already knew this but no matter how many free preventive life saving measures you provide the irresponsible will still be irresponsible. In the end, it will cost more and it will raise everybodys rates. The problem with health care in America is not that it is bad. It is that it is so good that everybody uses it so much that it increases the price. The more people get things done the higher the price. The more free stuff we offer the higher those prices will go up.
