(1.) By "free" I mean people with existing benefits. I can tell you - for Medicare Advantage (since medicare doesn't pay for it) - a *signifcant* number of members DO NOT use their preventative care benefits. In other words, even though they could get a semi-annual physical they don't. They need extra incentive to use their included benefits. Why do MA plans have higher admin costs? Because they must incent members to use their benefits through admin! You might want to look into that for your schtick. (2.) Ever been to Minute Clinic? Because I"m wondering why you'd insult those doctors many of whom clearly aren't providing that care for the money; they're trying to cover the uninsured!!! And your attitude is, "feck 'em. if health care doesn't cost an assload it must suck." (3.) G made the point. So you find me the data: how many people with existing preventative care benefits don't use them? You're both avoiding the cultural roadblock and revealing that you're part of it (if it don't cost a lot I don't like it). Looks like you fell for the corporate marketing schtick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
