I'm not sure how true this is. About 40% [1] of Americans have high-deductible health plans, which means they're spending at least $1400 (usually much more) before insurance kicks in a dime. Then about another 15% are uninsured. 17% have Medicare, but prescription drug coverage on Medicare is...complicated, and people are exposed to drug pricing.

- refurb 6y agoMy deductible for my high deductible plan doesn’t apply to prescriptions. That’s a separate plan and I have co-pays and co-insurance. Medicaid is almost zero out of pocket. Medicare is low cost as long as you don’t hit the donut hole.
