I don't think you're wrong in the sense that this is (mostly) how the system works but treating health insurance like any other kind of insurance is exactly why it is so expensive and unwieldy.
~5% of your lifetime income for guaranteed, full coverage would ultimately not be a bad deal imho.
I know that's not the actual reality of the American healthcare system.
