> For a root canal here I paid maybe 200 USD in total.

For comparison, with insurance in the US my root canal cost about $250 out of pocket.

I have dental, paid $350 for root + $300 for crown. It covers 50%.

I paid ~$200 with no insurance whatsoever.

Interesting. I looked around Chicago area and the cheapest I found was $350 just for root canal.
