I think this is the issue that should push us all toward a single-payer, government-backed system. The fact that we all (or our employers) pay a ridiculous amount for health insurance each month, PLUS end up paying out of pocket a high amount anyway as our health insurance really only kicks in once there is an extreme situation (emergency, chronic illness). And as a consumer I am stuck in the middle of it, with there being no competition but no recourse either.
