We also can't assume that people WILL take preventative care or see a primary care physician (do they still exist?) VS a hospital or an urgent care if they have any health issues. I'm insured, but I haven't been to an actual Dr.s office in YEARS, but I have been to the hospital/urgent care several times.

If you had my insurance, you would be required to see your primary care doctor at least once per year and get specific tests done annually or else you'd have a huge annual deductible and extremely high co-pays. You would re-think that hospital/urgent care visit because the co-pay is 5 times as much as going to your primary care.
