Well for the former it's probably a xerox/bandaid thing. For the latter I'd say follow the money. For-profit medicine doesn't want insurance to pay for people to get better, they want you to stay just sick enough to work but always be hooked on something. Hence denigrating a lot of preventative or curative procedures that you can technically live without as "elective".
