The dynamic applies to anything where you are expected to make regular payments.

Renting an apartment? Landlord wants to see you and fix your shit as little as possible.

Renting a car? They want you to drive it as little as possible so they can keep renting it for as long as possible. Maybe they're charging you by the mile, too, just to cover that base completely.

Now think about the US healthcare industry.
