> "It makes good financial sense for insurers to push the insured to take preventative measures."

This is only true in a well-designed system. In a system in which insurance policies are for a one-year term and can be declined or premium-hiked as necessary after that term is up, encouraging preventive checkups can be counterproductive if the risk of being on the hook for problems discovered in the checkups is higher than the preventive benefit during the duration of the policy.
