I know a teacher who did everything right, had insurance through her district, and still ended up with $90,000 in bills after her husband's cancer because of deductibles, coinsurance, and one out-of-network anesthesiologist. Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in America. Every other wealthy country figured out that you do not let people go broke for getting sick.
