They( tptb in the UK and the US who lead the way) have a long term agenda which primarily concerns saving large amounts of money by throwing cbt/get at every difficult to diagnose neuro immune illness out there ( guessing me/cfs represents the biggest savings due to the numbers).
It's astonishing they don't do the numbers sanely.
I am 'fortunate' enough to be on the highest rates of disability benefit in the UK.
Assuming, for the moment that this remains the case, this directly over the next years will cost them $500K or so - depending on how long I live.
Add a largish slice to that (or perhaps the same again, if I was in the career I was headed for) in terms of lost tax revenue, multiply out by the whole patient population, add lost earnings of carers, and it's a ridiculous figure.
Every tiny part of the aparatus is penny-pinching, and missing the massive costs induced by that.
