Probably the dumbest of US healthcare inventions is the "maternity insurance"... but people buy because you can get a bill like $30k for having a baby.

And because they need to make profit *and* because the market is highly regulated, they inflate the cost at any stage. So a tablet of paracetamol will cost $100 in the bill, and in theory patient shouldn't care because "it's paid by insurance".
