Yes this is exactly it. High deductible health plans are succeeding in making prices more transparent and letting the markets work as a check on healthcare costs. What Mylan is trying to do is a bit sneaky -- mollifying the high deductible complainers by giving them a coupon they can use but I believe in the long run it will backfire since it will drive more people to high deductible plans. low deductible health insurance plans dont make much sense b/c no one has an incentive to save money. by having people share in more of the costs (up to a certain level) I think you get market forces to help keep prices in check
