I suppose I would be bankrupt if I didn't have that insurance.

Many/most people will use close to $1 million worth of healthcare in their lives...the majority at the end...the last year of their life. To "pay" for $1 million...you would have to pay over $1000 a month EVERY month for 80 years.
Healthcare simply costs TOO MUCH. We CAN'T afford it as it stands now.
