Preventative treatment for disease is ten, hundred, thousand times cheaper than treatment ex post facto.

Only if you have an excellent health insurance plan. Otherwise, preventive treatment costs you money, while curative treatment is paid for you.

Sounds like a misguided incentive ...

So exercise, eating healthy, fasting, brushing/flossing teeth, consistent sleep schedule, daily sun exposure, good relationships, and stress management all depend on a health insurance plan?

Well, it doesn't have to "depend" on the health insurance plans. But there are definitely ones that reward you in some way for doing some/all of these. Mine literally gives me cash back for doing an annual physical.
