Agree 100%. But isn't some of the savings going to be that those people will now go to a Dr. (like you and I) instead of going to the ER. The reason many companies pay for preventive at 100% is b/c the long term savings of nipping something in the bud outways the added cost. There usually is an increase in the 1st year but the savings in the future outweigh those costs.
