If people had to actual pay for going to the doctor when they have a cold, and had to fork over $400 for a 2 minute visit just to get a shot or some medicine, they'd suck it up and just go get some Mucinex instead.

I don't think the people with insurance and copays are the ones driving up healthcare costs. It's the people on Medicaid that do this, because they don't have to pay anything. There is no accountability for incurring a huge hospital bill, because if you don't have credit to begin with, your credit can't be ruined.
