That was an interesting article. And it highlighted (though not as much as it could have, maybe) the crux of the issue with having people pay a higher share of the out-of-pocket costs upfront- does it encourage people not to go to the doctor unnecessarily, or does it cause them to put off seeing a doctor about minor problems until they become major (and more expensive to treat)?
