In the sixties, birth control was becoming widely available and drug companies were able for the first time ever quantify how much a person on a monthly medication was worth.

A sick person is a valuable commodity.

An obese child is worth literal millions over the course of their lifetime.

Perverse incentives get perverse outcomes.
