Luckily, I could afford to pay that, and afford to sue the insurance company. Where, hopefully, arbitration looks like I"ll get a refund check this year, years later.
That's how people declare medical bankruptcy. Or if they can't afford their out of pockets for their problem. What if you or I had a major auto accident, and we ended up with $20,000 as our "out of pocket"? 40% of Americans now live at or near poverty level. Few can afford to pay that back, even over time.

California has Medi-Cal which has about bankrupt the state already and is an excellent example of what is to come of our health-care system, single payer would be a nightmare for a state that has such a high population of illegals.
