Yep, consider how many people would rather buy a new car than preventative healthcare or dental? Then they would blame everyone else later.
Sounds great to get everyone a HDHP. But truth is they would still expect top notch care and NO one would die. No one would have to say grandma should die because she's 85 and chemo is harsh.
When we get around that, maybe we can reform the system. Until then we'll want extraordinary measures for free.
So I'm for just making it socialized so people just pay up front. We'll pay anyway with an HDHP. Just more because people won't buy it or the insurance company will skirt paying for it, and people will demand services.
