One could argue that health care in this country has been too inexpensive for too many and that the market is just correcting itself right now. How many people go into the doctor for the sniffles, because an office visit is free or they only have a $10 copay? How many people are getting drugs for diseases that aren't necessarily diseases or because the drug is the easy way to fix the problem? Take the high blood pressure medication example, most people, if they watched there food intake, and excersied a little, wouldn't need the fancy drug, but taking the drug is much easier than changing there lifestyle. But if the prescription copay is only $10 for the drugs alot of people think "Why the heck not it's only $10."
