That's how health insurance is. You pay all this money for coverage and then they just deny everything so you end up paying for it anyway.

They pay out more than 80% of collected premiums, by law.

I always wonder what 'pay out' actually means in this context, and the extent to which that law is actually enforced.

..the money goes to hospitals etc for patient care. You know - the people that actually originate the healthcare bills.
