The Oregon Medicaid expansion didn’t reach this conclusion. On balance people were happier because of lower stress, and people with diabetes were better served, but there wasn’t a huge macro effect of cost reduction via early intervention. We already know the thing about diabetes, to the point that even private insurance companies will throw money at compliance because it’s cheaper than care. Outside that, vaccinations, and maybe a few more specific cases, the conventional wisdom of early intervention saves money is false. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Medicaid_health_experiment https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Medicaid_health_exper...
