Of course, because demand for healthcare is infinite, so you could wind up costing the insurance company an infinite amount of money. And if their expenses are uncapped, they're not going to cap how much you can pay them.
And if they cap their expenses on your behalf, it's not really insurance, it's just a shitty payment plan.
