Opinions on health insurance?

Is it actually worth having? Is it a scam? I already have my feelings on it but I’d like to see other people’s feelings about it.

I was with my insurance company for around 25 years. The ONLY time I used it was when I got a wisdom tooth pulled, the dentist prescribed some pain stuff, and it got it for like 5 bucks. Used it twice and threw it away.
A couple of years ago I got a note and they dropped me. You would think the person who doesn't use it would be who they want.
So I spent over $100,000 for nothing but a safety net.
I tore my meniscus about four months ago and, like I've always down when I'm injured, I went with self-healing. I truly believe in mind over body and supplements. And it worked. It hurt. But it worked. So my plan is to stay healthy until I can get Medicare. We'll see how it goes. But is it scam? Hard to say. If you're healthy it's a scam. When you try and use it and find out you're not covered, or barely covered for a certain ailment, it's a scam. If you're in real need of real treatment then it can be essential.
