“When I was young, we (not a wealthy family) could pay for routine healthcare. Insurance was for catastrophic illness and was rarely used.”
Same here. Same with everyone I know who’s even close to my age.
But then catastrophic coverage morphed into comprehensive coverage. And our skyrocketing health costs woes began as a direct result.
$80 sound low to me. Most people have no idea how much a visit to their doctor actually costs. The only thing that registers is the “co-pay”.
