This.  A huge amount of people give up.  And, if they delay payment on a few thousand people, they are earning how much in interest?[/quote]

You haven't given your age but presumably you are literate, speak English as a first language, are technologically savvy, etc.  You are able to dispute the billing, etc.  The insurance companies, however, are counting on there being a lot of elderly people who lack these skills who will not have the wherewithal to fight with them.  Furthermore, wait until you have possibly three or four elderly parents between you and your spouse, and you are the only ones capable of disputing all of their many medical bills as well.  We have a mom with dementia and my sister has over twenty years of experience as a nursing administrator and even she struggles to sort out all of mom's stuff.  My friend's parents set up all the online portals for their medical care and then promptly forgot all their passwords and due to HIPAA regulations, she had to go through a major amount of paperwork just to be added to their portals in order to even get started fighting with their insurance companies.  good times.
