Being "insured" and actually having coverage that makes healthcare affordable are two very different things.

Most insurance plans are going to have a small copay. Then payment plan for the bill you get months later.

Congrats, the outlier is the issue here though - i.e. you pretending this is the norm.

Also that means you’re trapped at the same employer lest you want to sacrifice access to your health benefits which then becomes limited career mobility.
