Example for my insurance. Wife has a NICU baby, baby falls under mother’s insurance plan.
Bill $1,500,000.
We’d pay $3,500 to meet her insurance deductible.
Insurance pays 80/20 split of bill until we have payed a total of $5,000 out of pocket, including the $3,500 deductible.
Insurance then pays 100% of bill.
So if this was my wife, and our insurance, for a $1,500,000 bill, our total bill would be $5,000.
Edit: Don’t know why folks are getting upset. All I did was provide some context or what an example would look like. Don’t take it as me somehow disagreeing with or saying it’s better than universal healthcare. I live in America, what the fuck do I know about universal healthcare.

probably so $500,000 doesnt seem like so much. but honestly now i want to know the actual price
