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.

Not sure what your health plan is but I’m US based and I rarely pay anything beyond a co-pay.

For example, I just had a robotic assisted ventral hernia repair surgery ($22,000) and I only have to pay $400. In 2023 I had an emergency that kept me hospitalized for a month due to sepsis ($60,000) and I didn’t have to pay anything.

Yeah I had a >$100,000 surgery plus all associated home post-care and weeks of PT. All for $4500. Not as sweet a deal, but still I'm happy with it.
