I would rather pay a lot less and put the difference into a personal account in case I need it for something. That way I can earn interest on my money and spend it on something else if I don't need care.
The issue with the US isn't the cost, it's people who are not smart enough to put away an emergency fund even though they know full well that emergencies can be expensive. If you don't know this by now you have had your head in the ground for way too long.
