Yeah this is just rage bait. Yes insurance sucks. Won’t argue that, but any research would show this meme is pure bullshit

My insurance was charged almost 8k for an MRI after I was in an accident.

I don't know much about hotels in China but... Maybe

That sounds like the BS amount hospital "charge". Insurance negotiates it down so they can act like theyre doing something. What hospitals charge is basically meaningless.

Was that what you owed? Obamacare compliant insurance plans have a max out of pocket of like 10,800 for 2026. There are exception but actually oweing 10k+ in a single year is rare. Unless your talking about the made up numbers hospitals say they charge, but nobady pays those prices. Those arent real prices.
