That some health insurance companies refuse to pay for a trip to the ER if it turns out what you went for wasn't really an emergency. Such as, you had chest pain but you were diagnosed with severe heartburn and not a heart attack. Appalling, I know. But it may make some people think twice about going to the ER. In my opinion, if you think you need the ER, insurance should pay. I don't know how there haven't been lawsuits over this.
