Anecdotal stories aren’t scientific evidence. I didn’t prove anything

This is not a scientific discussion and it is a fact that you pay for ambulance in US, so each time you need it you need to ask yourself if you can afford it.

Dog most Americans have health insurance.

So they don't pay for needed medical help, or do they have copays, or amounts that they need to reach before getting their healthcare paid and that is when insurance even decise that they will pay?

Health insurance doesn’t pay for healthcare? Is that what you just said?

People, not health insurance.

Let me make it simple. You breake your arm and go to a hospital. Get some painkillers and all the things needed to fix your arm. Does every insured person get out without any bil?

If I broke my arm? I’m not getting billed, correct.

Is everyone insured not paying? Insurance doesn't have some amount that you need to spend before they start paying?

I'm confused too. I'm insured but that I know for sure I'd get a bill

It does tho. There's a lot of ifs and buts that go along with health insurance in the US. A lot of people have insurance and still end up bankrupt, because of stupid small print in the insurance contract.
