It's really weird to read this kind of article from outside the USA, where healthcare is a public service.
(of course, here in the UK, the tories are doing their best to ruin the NHS, but it's still so much better than this).

Jeez, really? Wow.
I currently live and work in the US, love it, love the country. I have the chance to have a great plan thanks to my company. But i'm not sure how much more I can keep tacitly approving this system.
What's not to agree with? The parent comment is simply stating nothing more than a fact we're all well aware of - that we have a different system in the US.

Of course once the annual limit is reached coverage is reduced for a period of time, but there will also be cases where the limit is not reached.
And while it doesn't compare favorably to a simpler to access program that covers all expenses, enacting it didn't make anybody that ends up using it worse off.
