I agree. It reminds me of Kaiser - How do you keep customers with joint problems coming back? Pain Killers! Surgery is pretty much off the table.
On a serious note: HMOS actually do some really good stuff. They are really into preventive health because they don't want some sick fool cutting out of their profit, understandably. This sort of model is encouraging but it also leaves a lot to be desired once someone's sick-not to mention emergencies where a Kaiser isn't available. Nonetheless I like the preventative model.
