Note that $25 is nowhere hear the average for Americans' copay for primary healthcare visit. You've just got really excellent insurance and are assuming everyone else does as well. We've got average insurance in our state, and copay is around $60.

> Note that $25 is nowhere hear the average for Americans' copay for primary healthcare visit. $24 primary, $37 specialist, though that was published last year so it may have crept up a bit (it's been trending slowly upward.) [0] > You've just got really excellent insurance $25 is more than my primary care copay. I know I have excellent insurance; I also don't assume everyone else's is like mine. OTOH, you apparently have really crappy insurance and are assuming everyone else does.

  > Once workers have surpassed their deductibles, they pay an average $24 copay for a primary care office visit, $37 for a specialty care office visit, Note that, as stated in the article you linked, the percentage of plans with deductibles has gone up significantly (67%). So your average is really a veiled figure - many people won't come close to spending as much as their deductible on healthcare in a year to ever actually pay those prices.
