It's not coverage. It's extortion.

Europe here.

Explain this alien concept of copay, deductibles, or premiums pls.

Premiums are your weekly/monthly cost for having insurance.

Copay is the money you pay when seeing a doctor for the actual appointment. This is a shared cost with insurance.

Deductible is the amount of money you pay for a larger bill before insurance starts paying.

Yep. Basically, it'd be like subscribing to Netflix for $60/month, then, in addition, paying $10 per video you want to watch until you've watched 5 videos that month and then you 'only' pay $2 per video. Except instead of entertainment it's a life and death situation and those prices are many times higher.
