I don't understand why people can't see that it's the insurance itself that made the health care costs (artificially) go through the roof.

We shouldn't need insurance to pay for every single health related thing we do.

If people tried to institute a similar model for "grocery insurance" whereby we just paid premiums and deductibles and never knew what the cost of the food was, what do you think would happen to the cost of eating?
Same could be said for loans. If it weren't so easy to borrow money the price of cars, boats, or any other big ticket item would be very different. The price of college would be drastically different.

I see Tyme's point though, the 'system' is what it is, and his advice is probably pretty good.
