I support increasing access to preventative care, but I doubt that will do much to decrease demand. Currently about 92% of US residents have medical coverage, and that gives them free access to preventive care services which are proven to be a net benefit.
But demand is increasingly driven by chronic medical conditions caused by lifestyle issues and local environments: obesity, substance abuse, sedentary lifestyles, toxin exposure, excess stress, lack of sunlight, etc. Those issues will have to be addressed through social policy rather than the healthcare system.
