Papa John's Pizza and healthcare

[know1]

So, paradoxical as it may sound, the fact that your insurance company pays for routine checkups makes your health insurance cheaper in the long run.

Again. People are still thinking of health insurance and health care as the same things. They are not.

It's not the fact that the company PAYS for routine check-ups, but rather the fact that you actually GO GET the check-ups that lowers people's health care costs.

You're ignoring the proven fact that people whose insurance pays for routine checkups GO GET the checkups much more regularly than those without insurance to pay for them, and as a result, end up with lower health care costs over the course of their lifetime, which means the health insurance company can make more money off of them, which is exactly WHY the health insurance companies started paying for them in the first place.
