"You can't afford healthcare" has a big brother named "You're already paying for healthcare monthly, but you can't afford all the copays"

I'm paying for the insurance, but the nearest in-network provider taking new patients is a 90 minute drive. Is that a cousin to "You can't afford healthcare"?

That sucks. I went to the closest ER and it was in network but I could only receive care from a different provider on the far side of the city. Its a 40 min bike ride, granted not as bad as 90 mins but why does heath insurance skimp on actually providing needed coverage to local networks
