They had a very simple system: you only paid your Dr while you were healthy and well. At the first sign of illness, payment ceased, treatment began, and, hopefully, payment could resume shortly after your illness was sorted and treated.

Brilliant.

Nowadays the HMO approach is preferred when doctors ration treatment and behind the scenes nurses receive bonuses for tring to kill you by delaying care with denials. Covid treatment is no exception.
