- Eddy_Viscosity2 2y agoThis was going to be my comment as well. Same with insurance, those that have car accidents or house fires or floods will disproportionately account for the cost of insurance. This is how it works. I don't have a link, but I remember a study that looked at this specific issue for the few outliers in health care that were a causing the use of the most resources. It turns out that identifying them and giving them a more holistic care approach dramatically reduced costs and improved outcomes for those people. Part of the problem was the segmented approach to healthcare.
