Pay more money, have more doctors to choose from, and the insurer will pay more of your bills when you do get sick.
The other option - agree that you will pay more of your own bills, and the insurer will collect less money from you. Pray that you stay healthy.

Nope. Survival of the fittest. If you can’t pay attention enough to protect yourself and you screw up choosing the wrong coverage, you’ll up getting a paper cut which will get infected and you will most likely develop a gangrenous hand which will lead to your death from blood poisoning. And someone who can understand a benefit comparison chart will take your place. I’m pretty sure AD1 up there is already measuring your cubicle

Yeah it's needlessly complex because we have a needlessly complex healthcare system
