Anything medical could easily get that high. Cancer, trauma injury.

If you're paying out of pocket, sure. But you can get a very good family insurance plan for $2k per month that should cover everything.

I have quite decent medical insurance, and copays still exist.

I dont want to discuss my medical costs directly, but the uninsured cash cost for my monthly medications is about 5.5k month. Insurance does help significantly, but the final cost is still greater than 10% of cash price.
