The most naive ways of doing that would be *crimes*. The more subtle forms (erring on the side of doing more medical procedures) seem like they’d be disincentivized by insurers refusing to reimburse unnecessary care, right?

No, obviously not. It’s just that bed capacity expansion a primary lever used by for-profit hospitals to grow revenue. But Twitter isn’t the best mechanism to go deep on health economics

Proving unnecessary care is almost impossible. But there’s definitely evidence of the profit motive leading to more care, E.g. ordering more tests, MRIs etc.
