GAs are not as attuned to this, since we tend to be younger and healthier.

well we have kids. I've never had anything rationed, ever. The only thing I've ever had to pay for, besides deductibles, is lasik.
I'm in a PPO, which here just limits docs you can choose, not the same as HMO. Is California that much worse off*? Have you had treatments refused coverage, or been in long waits for treatment (months-not hours)?
* I don't mean that in a mean way- but really if you're not being provided with decent health coverage by your firm, I'd be looking around- I know Bush ruined the job boom, but still-
