This appears to be largely because treatment is much more profitable 
than prevention, along with a healthy (or unhealthy) dose of "most 
people can't be bothered with prevention".

+1.

I can scarcely believe the stupidity and arrogance of Hillary's 
so-called plan.  "If we find people who don't have insurance because 
they're struggling financially and have to choose between buying food or 
health insurance, we'll just take their money and make the decision for 
them."  Yeah, that sounds like a REAL winner.  Hey, Hillary, why don't 
you just pass a law making it illegal to get sick?  That should solve 
the problem, right...?
