The car insurance analogy is a great explanation… if your car insurance included oil changes, tire rotations, break linings etc, how could you possibly be surprised when your premiums go through the roof?
The other end of this is that all the insurance paperwork and claims haggling has driven up the cost of doing business for doctors and hospitals so much that cash paying customers cant afford the rates for simple procedures, which creates more pressure to join the health insurance game.
