I know a family personally devastated by United HealthCare (UHC) who denied paying for a mother's cancer care. This family was on UHC for years and suffered few medical issues. When they needed UHC to be there for them, they were abandoned.

$7K OoP per year isn't bad by my experience. Much less than many of the insurance land available out there.

That's what I pay and my insurance is quite good.
