This is not true. I have several campaigns at less than 25 cents per click targeting US traffic. I have 1 campaign at less than 5 cents per click targeting Indian traffic.

What one needs to understand is that it is an auction and that prices are dictated by market forces. There's a reason insurance related keywords may cost $10 for top spot. It's because even at that cost, it's worth it. Don't think you'll pay five cents for them, even with the best QS ever, because that will never happen. You must follow the market.
I manage many accounts in all kinds of sectors. Yes, some pay dollars per click but many others less than that. It depends on the sector. Occasionally, you do see a click cost much less than an average in that sector, say a fifth to a tenth of the average, yes sometimes even down to ten cents or less. I can show you clicks that cost just one cent in the last year (account average is 40 cents) but I don't expect all my clicks to be that low.

LucidM... is totally right, it's good to understand that no matter how you QS is, if someone is paying $5 per click for a keyword, don't expect to pay $0.2 for the same keyword. Or at least that's my opinion. Good luck in your research OP.

What you have heard is definitely not true. As a thumb rule you can easily assume that whatever adwords shows you as the tentative bid value you can almost surely pay below it or above it based on how you optimize your campaign.
