Yes.
Remove the for profit "health" insurance companies and provide people with these things. It will reduce our societal costs and improve outcomes for all.
What's silly is for profit healthcare.
Health insurance companies need to be disbanded so that we as a society can afford these things.
Our healthcare industry is just a massive profiteering racket.
... Yes. It's a society. Society should bear the costs of what the most vulnerable need.
How is paying for prophylactic counseling any different than paying for routine checkups?
Like surely you have patients who need meds or their lives fall apart but are otherwise doing just fine? Quick check in once a month and everyone goes on their merry way?
Why should somebody's access to care be compromised because they are feeling better? This isn't bronchitis these are lifelong conditions
Yes, because prevention is superior to treatment after the fact in both outcomes & overall cost.
Though it seems you have a differing understanding of "Medically Necessary" to my own so i suspect we won't agree on this.
"For profit healthcare" is a misnomer is should be called something like "profit equilibrium maintenance : healthcare edition"
The best outcome for a "for profit" is profit, not healthcare. Given the choice between larger profits and better healthcare outcomes the profit will win out, every time.
