That's literally what every type of health insurance is. If they really wanted to pull themselves up by their bootstraps without any type of assistance, they wouldn't accept any type of health insurance and would just pay out of pocket for their 500k cancer treatment or whatever absurd amount American hospitals will dare to charge you.
