And even that's misleading because of the high deductibles of all U.S. plans let alone if you happen to get a so-called high deductible plan (that qualifies for a Health Savings Account). To see a paid for benefit, other than those PPACA requires they be provided at no addition cost from the get go, you pay the annual "tax" in the form of a premium and then you pay the deductible, and then depending on the insurance and provider it will pay 50% to 90%. I estimate I'd have to spend ~$10,000 out of pocket before the first dollar "insurance" would pay. Per year, as the deductible resets. Americans are consistently paying obscene amounts of money for no better results and in some cases, like the up thread type 1 diabetes example, vastly inferior.
