Weaken
Two tech firms, BlueTech and RedCorp, each pay MediCare to provide health insurance for their staff. Because early intervention for high blood pressure can prevent heart attacks that might occur several years later, MediCare encourages BlueTech employees to have their blood pressure checked and to seek early treatment for high blood pressure. RedCorp employees typically stay with RedCorp for only a short period, however. Therefore, MediCare lacks any financial incentive to provide similar encouragement to RedCorp employees.
