Because the health insurance/medical industry situation in America is objectively criminal.
This is why the quality of health insurance offered by a potential employer is such a huge consideration when looking for work in this country, sometimes outweighing prospects of salary or hourly pay. With even moderately decent coverage a bad accident can ruin your life financially.

That is completely crazy. I am so glad to be far from this madness. I feel for the people stuck in it. Hopefully this changes soon
