Insurance companies know that vaccinated children are less likely to get expensive to treat vaccine-preventable diseases.

They offer incentives to vaccinate because it saves the insurance company money in the long run.

I think crony capitalism makes everything debatable.

End the State.

They make a lot more than what insurance offer pharmacies. For Medicare patients, insurances offer incentives for patients to be on certain medications or make sure patients are adherent. At most, you can get about $100 for a med sync.

Insurance companies want to minimize payouts. Having their insureds vaccinated decreases the amount they have to pay out.

Vaccinations save health care dollars.

"The study concluded that the routine immunization schedule [for a hypothetical United States birth cohort of 4 261 494 infants born in 2009] is estimated to prevent 42 000 early deaths and reduce the disease burden by 20 million cases. This accounts for $13.5 billion in direct costs, and $68.8 billion in societal costs."

What evidence do you have that doctors want people to be sick?

That's not evidence.

Have you actually seen a doctor withhold treatment so a person stays sick? If so, did you report it to the appropriate person at the hospital?

As far as vaccines are concerned, the way for the system to make more money would be not to vaccinate.

Exactly, a doctor withholding treatment would open himself up to law suits.
