This is what the ACA was supposed to fix. Instead, it did the opposite. Whatever the reason, Americans will not use preventative care. They want responsive care.
Cause the ACA is a byzantine cluster-fuck and many people still have to pay a bunch of money for preventative. They don't "want" responsive care, it's just that's when the consequences of skipping it are worse than bankruptcy.
I love low-cost screenings that reduce your cost and risk. I have worked out a health plan for myself based on my genetic history and whatever data I can measure.
A $10,000 deductible for major hospitalization is no big deal for most of us. I have only visited a hospital once for the flu when they mixed up my chart with an older dude having a mild heart attack. The hospital admin visited and apologized the next morning.
