We wonder why we have cost issues with health care in this country.
Nobody realizes what it costs to go to the doctor, to have surgery, to actually use this stuff. It's not that COBRA premiums are huge - that's just what it costs, and nobody realizes it because someone else is paying for it.
No doubt. That's why I don't like the notion of employer provided health insurance. The user is no longer an informed consumer of the product. There's no necessity to find cheaper alternatives for each individual consumer since they're not the ones making the purchasing decisions.
