The worst insurance you can get + max out of pocket is 12,000usd per year.

10 or 20 procedures, still 12k.

For the 10%ers/6 figure earners, this is 10% of the before tax income.

For the 90% making 15-19$/hr, I can't even imagine managing this.

And that's assuming you can keep working. Getting fired or laid off because you can't work means you're no longer getting paid AND you now have to pay for the healthcare you can no longer afford. It's stupid.
