I do agree that part of the problem is that the majority of consumers have no idea of the true cost of medical coverage. People whine about their $25 copayment for a $400 office visit.

oh, and do they whine.... I hate collecting copays. Drives me absolutely crazy when a Lilly employee from around here, lets their petty $5 copays rack up and I am sending letters... I want to yank them through the phone and
I work for a medical network and I have a $1,700 deductible.. so, if it wasn't for my health savings account... I would just go sick instead of being seen.
