The "resolution" says they "only" have to pay 2.000$ in deductibles and copay now.

Just for comparison: a fully-fledged broken leg operation costs 3.000€ for non-insured people in Germany.

Isn't insurance supposed to bring things down to 0$ instead of copays that still surpass the actual cost?

But you need to raise hens to get eggs. And if it turns out a rooster, you kill it instantly. This method avoids hatching the roosters.

2020 update: the eggs actually became available in supermarkets (REWE) for little extra cost, but are subject to regional availability.
Re:What Does 5G Mean for Mobile App Developers? on Thursday November 19, 2020 @10:13AM (#25150296)
Things will get more interesting when the 5G core networks take off and services connect to it. Just an example:

- operator-vetted user authentication

- zero-overhead VPN-like services

- peer-to-peer smartphone communication

The 5G hype really isn't about making the Internet link a little faster. It's about establishing a "service-marketplace".
