Ironically that’s the opposite of what the healthcare industry wants. It costs a lot of money to die with health insurance. Lots for both you and the insurance company.
They push preventative healthcare options all over the place and provide hundreds of dollars of incentives each year to people to do the bare minimum because it’s cheaper to prevent issues from the beginning than to treat big ones when it’s ignored.
They want to pay as little as possible, but also get as much as possible out of individuals and company benefits, there’s a balance they have to maintain. Single payer would actually make them more money probably, if it weren’t subject to the same government spending cuts Republicans always want to do as well.
Also, dead people often can’t pay their bills. The average estate often isn’t large enough for medical bills to recoup everything.
The Republicans making these decisions however, aren’t just doing what the insurance companies want though, they’re grifting from everyone so it all results into a balanced evil end where no industry gets what they really want, but the consumer always gets fucked.
The plan is to let people die in the streets if they can’t afford them grotesquely inflated prices of the healthcare system.
That’s part of it, they want that because then people will be so afraid of unemployment, they’re take shit wages for unsafe work.
