Re:Using AI to negotiate a $195k hospital bill down to $33k by robrenaud on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @04:24PM (#45738636)
A lot of employed people like the status quo for the healthcare that they receive.

"In contrast to their largely negative assessments of the quality and coverage of healthcare in the U.S., broad majorities of Americans continue to rate their own healthcare’s quality and coverage positively. Currently, 71% of U.S. adults consider the quality of healthcare they receive to be excellent or good, and 65% say the same of their own coverage. There has been little deviation in these readings since 2001.

Compared with their counterparts, older adults and those with higher incomes register more positive ratings of the quality and coverage of their own healthcare."

So basically they accept and approve of them being bankrupted by an unfortunate medical event no matter how top tier their health insurance package. Right?

Are there not out of pocket maximums on most plans?
