190k is a very large amount, I'm not sure if by 40k out of pocket you mean the insurance covered the rest.
Still, 40k is a lot of money and 190k is pretty much my salary for the next 10 years. I'm sure jobs are a bit better paid in the US; but I'm also quite convinced it is not that common to have that amount of money laying around.
An expense like that falling on you can definitely ruin your life.
I borrowed money to pay for it. I was lucky, very lucky.
