X treatment paid by insurance $2,200 (where the insurance would only cover 50%).

X treatment paid in cash $850.

This is an excellent example. Over the long term prices will rise by the amount of the subsidy. Meaning, we will pay the same out-of-pocket, but there will be a premium to cover everyone that takes a cut to process they payment. In the end... It's more expensive...
