- vorpalhex 4y agoSomeone does lsd and shoots up a gas station. Was it the lsd or were they just already nutters? Nobody knows. Telling people to take strong drugs that are purity tested and in a supervised clinical setting is sensible, not some conspiracy.
- NickC25 4y agoA nightmare - as said companies will have a fixed amount of revenue per patient, and it won't be recurring. Wall Street doesn't like companies that go against the ingrained model of "extremely expensive long term care as a service".
- colinsane 4y agowhat of the insurance companies though? if they no longer have to pay for recurring treatments, then more of the customer’s monthly premium can go to the shareholder. Wall Street gets their recurring revenue one way or another.
- criddell 4y agoInsurance is regulated. Typically they can only hold on to about 20% of the premium. If they collect too much money, you will get a rebate check mailed to you.
