Basically, events like TFA where someone gets shafted even with insurance are fairly rare. The system is bad, but many (most?) people aren't exposed to just how bad it really is. The elderly, who require the most healthcare, have Medicare helping them. Working adults often get insurance subsidized by their employer, and young adults/kids under age 26 can stay on their parents insurance plans. With insurance, especially "good" insurance, you don't see all the insanity unless you dig into the itemized details of your medical bills... even then most people will shake their heads, pay their (relatively small) portion of the bill, and move on.
