taking care of someones chronic condition for years is also expensive, probably more so then they will ever be able to afford. so they most cost effective way is to find a way to drop them.
They don't lose money from giving care, sure, it's an expense, but they charge a hell of a lot more than it costs them.

Those can't be permanently cured though, and fuck, I'd rather not be labeled as a murderer just for testing cancer treatments.

their point is to maximize profit, the best way to do which is to minimize expenses.
do you remember the whole pre-existing condition shit? did you ever wonder why they did that and did everything they possibly could to get out of giving care to people?

example: if they spend $20 for an operation and charge $40, they make a $20 profit (ignoring tax and all that shit).
if they do 4 operations at $20 each and still make a $20 profit on each, they make $80, right? The more they do, the more money they make. I really don't know how you can't see that.

I worked as a bloody pharmaceutical salesman, I KNOW for a fact that they will do anything to sell people drugs, regardless of whether or not they need them.

because that's not how it works. insurers do not make profit based on operations anymore than a car insurer makes money from you totaling your car and claiming for it. it means less money for them. it is in their interests to pay for as little as possible.
maybe a hospital might make money like that depending on the operation, but then the insurers will, as you have probably guessed, do everything in their power to pay as little as possible, up to and including refusing to give you it.
