The healthcare system here in the U.S. is horrible. Unless one is destitute or meets certain criteria for governmental assistance, our health insurance is bought from private companies. Sometimes an insurance company will refuse to cover expenses and so it must be paid "out of pocket" unless you can get the insurance company to reverse their decision.
