Yes, 800k is expensive as hell, but the actuaries long ago figured that into the premium. On average there are 4 liver transplants per 100k people, our deductible is X, our co-pay is Y, so we charge Z for a male aged 40, etc etc.

The insurance company took the money, so they takes their chances.

The "insurance company" is akin to the general public who pay a lot of money for the needs and wants of the few.
