From the POV of an insurance company, the patient might go elsewhere in a few years and they would only partially benefit from a cure.

Surely an insurance company would prefer that the patient go elsewhere rather than have to pay $100,000+ every year on treatment. Even if they lose a customer, at least they don’t have that enormous expense.

True. Well, for young people.

For Medicare or certain people on Medicaid it might be worth it.
