So this is what I get insurance for?

dolariI went to emergency room back in January for my gallbladder. Insurance barely covered the cost of my medications (which I've taken 1, and for my ankle sprain from March). It didn't cover anything else - I paid over $200 for that visit.
I went to the doctor last April to have my foot looked at after my sprain, and a consultation for gall bladder surgery. I sent that into insurance, as well. It wasn't covered, and now I have a $300 bill to the doctor.
All this time I complained about nt having insurance, and now that I have it, they're not PAYING for anything. Why do I even give them money?
If I pay my bill to the doctor, I won't have enough to go on vacation, or will have to severely curtail it back to one city, and groceries instead of dinner. If I go on vacation, my doctor isn't going to get her money anytime soon.
Also I've definitively dropped my doctor. The tests she wants to run would run into the $1000s and if insurance simply won't cover them, I'm not gonna bother to take them, even as a prerequisite for hormones.
I spent years complaining that medical care was unaffordable without insurance, and now I'm paying to have nothing taken care of. I don't know when I was better off.
