Take this one step further, to where people begin avoiding interacting with the health care... "system" for fear of the financial outcome -- one which is largely and unyieldingly opaque. Not only is the system making care unaffordable. It is actively discouraging those in need from engaging in it. It is the opposite of preventative care. It is actively preventing care -- not just through cost, but through psychological pressure. The U.S. health care system is borderline evil, at this point. For some people, it is unquestionably evil.
