I moved to US in year 2000 and started to sell health insurance in 2001. I have seen some interesting things. People are willing to spend $30 or more on their nail or meals, but thinks it is too much to pay doctors. When I was a foreign student in Singapore, I paid $50 for a doctor visit, and then I paid $30 after I became a permanent resident. I like its system that everybody has responsibility and pays his/her share. It also has community clinics charging lower doctor visit ranging $10 to $20 with a big waiting room and high-end clinics charging $100 or more with a comfort office, you are the only patient when you arrive on time. No free medical.
