Insurance is about compensation for loss, and that’s it.

That's certainly not true of medical insurance. Preventative care is part of the whole package. In fact, certain preventative care is encouraged. Health insurance companies are more than happy to pay for UTIs, for instance, because they're so much cheaper than pregnancies.

    That's only in countries with sane health insurance. In America quarter profit seeking insurance, preventive care is a short term loss and therefore not paid, even when they affect long term profits.
