imagine a truly free market for health insurance where millions of individuals make his/her own decision for himself or his family. Frankly, in that situation, many of those people are going to make poorer choices than having a pro do it for them. And then they'll be complaining because their policy didn't cover something they think it should have. As I have correctly pointed out, 20 million of us have these exactly circumstances and there is no evidence to suggest that our cost increases are any lower than anyone else's. At least, not that I've seen. I disagree with the premise that 20 million isn't a sufficiently big market to allow us to see such a difference.
