Biopsy follow up. Imagine the possibility of having breast cancer. You go in with your wife for her biopsy and the hospital requires $5,000 up front to cover the deductible. Who has this just hanging around? Turned away! No offer of assistance. I am sure this must be making America great again!

That said, I'm here temporarily and live outside the U.S. in Latin America.
You might be able to book a flight and pay out of pocket for this about anywhere in Latin America, and pay way, way, way less.
We go to the Dentist for a procedure and they ask for payment first. It’s a few hundred $$.
You have the money but could have used it elsewhere. But you also need the procedure. It’s not cancer, but it’s detrimental to your health.
