Consumers face incentives to adopt preventive health measures (smoking cessation, diabetes/hypertension management), potentially increasing out-of-pocket spending on preventive screenings, medications, and lifestyle interventions. May reduce long-term care costs for individuals but increases near-term healthcare utilization.

May influence Medicare/Medicaid coverage decisions for preventive interventions.
