I don't think it's amazing, just understandable. In my example, say... I'm a new father, so I've got my little family of three (me, wife, baby girl), and a student. GI Bill does a lot, as does my working, but still... if it weren't for insurance through the school (UC requires all of their students be insured, BTW), it'd be a tough decision. I'd make it work... the girls being the reason, but if it were just me? No way.
It's just insane. People can't afford this stuff. Double-digit percentage price increases every year? Why? So that some bastard can get his free Viagra or someone can get their counseling? The whole thing's a racket.
