and what does insurance actually pay from that 500k?

i have more medical debt than probably all of you. i was running up millions of dollars worth of charges every month.

the insurance did not pay millions of dollars every month.

    Considering the copay is 20%, probably most of it. If not, they're sticking the insured with a far higher percentage of the cost than agreed on. Granted, I also get copay assistance so I don't actually pay $100,000 per month. But Strensiq really does cost millions per year per patient at this time.
