Reply #9: That nobody actually knows is the issue

That's how they keep the double digit percent cost hikes going year after year after year... all the actual costs are hidden from you, making you unable to make decisions based on cost, letting them run up the price to whatever they can get away with.

$23k/year is an incredible amount of money, especially if there are also deductibles to pay. That's 2/3rds of the average per capita income! It's a new car, and in some places half a house or better. Shouldn't we know more about where the money is going and what things actually cost?
