There are many things that motivate the healthcare system and it depends on how the business is set up-in the case of the healthcare organization I work for, it is a firm fixed price setup, so prevention is the best mechanism to maximize the 'profits.' Now a flip side to this is that this could also lead to an inhibition to provide complex and expensive healthcare. I know that is not a fact for the organization in which I work. In fact, a healthy lifestyle and 'wellness' in encouraged and programs are offered to provide guidance towards those aims.
I personally don't go to movies to learn the truth but to be entertained. I've found movies and movie directors tend to exercise artistic license to the point of seriously stretching the truth. Additionally, anecdotes are just one data point. One needs to have a set of data points, n, and a large enough one at that to be able to possibly predict future behavior, assuming one can properly analyze the results and come up with a good enough model.
