Sick? Google Rather Than Doc Visit

A Facebook friend writes that she "is going to Google when she feels sick instead of paying $130 for a doctor to 'guess' and 'suppose' and 'wait and see.'"

Question: Does the high cost of medical care prompt you to seek other options when you're not feeling well, than simply going to the doctor or seeking other emergency care?
