Preventative should mean preventing that condition from occurring, not treating the existing condition with drugs.

You pay more than you should now, in order to able to pay less than $43K per year when you get old. At least that is the way I think it should work. Assuming you live long enough, you will eventually be in a high risk group. You won't want to pay the full actuarial cost of your health insurance then.
