Do some abuse the system?  Sure.

Do we throw the baby out with the bathwater because of it? I say no.

Deductibles usually aren't factored in with a Dr visit, at least not the ones I've had, but there are co-pays.  I think maybe insurance covers too much.  I mean if car insurance covered all maintenance on your car, it would skyrocket.  On the other hand,  you want people to be able to see their Dr without it being a financial burden.  I'm curious if not covering routine Dr visits would lower premiums meaningfully.
