This is one of your best. The double standard you describe is real.
It's helpful also to avoid the trap of promising that the right care saves money. We spend the $4.7 trillion on health care in hopes of winning medical security, not to save money. It's probably enough to say we can spend it better. Much better.
You're right. Even from an econometric perspective, saving money is not correct. Even a successful program like Care Ecosystem costs money. The hope is that it will simultaneously slow the increase in other spending, which it has been shown to do in a randomized clinical trial.
