This is another part of it: It's very difficult to compare health care in the same way you can compare, say, auto insurance. I've got a policy from my university, but it's still a significant document of legalese that doesn't easily explain what I am and am not entitled to.

It would have been nice if the health care reform created some sort of common labeling for policies that allows you to quickly scan your coverage. Or even some online "what if" simulator, where you can ask questions about what the policy will and will not cover (startup idea here?)
