This is not true across the board in the u.s. = The two I hired did not work in this fashion. It may be true with some clinics or agencies or some insurance -but it is not accurate as a blanket statement for everyone in the united states.
The three I hired (one when I was in my 20s and the two I hired in my late 40's) all tried to get me to depend on them more. A common theme of all 3 was that they wanted me to rely on them (I have no idea why I would have wanted to do that -but nonetheless-they did encourage it). I thought such an idea was madness.
