We do, the people complaining about paying a lot for visits are the same ones that buy the cheapest insurance. If you have even remotely average insurance you’ll have a 15 copay

Yeah? It depends on where you work. The last two companies(fortune 100) I worked for only had HDHPs as options and the best plan had a 2k deductible. Private insurance was anywhere from 800-1200 a month.

I think you’re out of touch.
