Wrong.

Health "Insurance" abstracts these costs away, and works as a very effective method of locking in those inflated costs with no consumer backlash, because many don't connect the dots, and the ones who do feel they have no other option.

It's a racket, acknowledge it.

Even worse, health insurance has an incentive to increase costs because of the 80/20 rule. If the 80% costs go up, so does the 20% profits they are allowed to keep.
You're not disagreeing with me.
