It's not an absurd lie, that's literally what it was going to cost me. You obviously don't know what the fuck you're talking about. It's certainly a higher than average rate, especially for someone my age, but it's by no means absurd. I was going to have to get the shitty public marketplace insurance or whatever it's called. Do you know how much that costs? Most people, even if they're young and healthy are easily going to be spending $500/month on insurance, and that's on company insurance plans that are often negotiated down to a lower price by your employer. If you're buying insurance on the public marketplace, not through your employer, the rates are outrageous. For someone like me who has not been to the doctors or had insurance for several years, the rates are even higher. Also, I had some pretty serious health issues like 10 years ago that appear to have been resolved, but it is still causing me higher rates.

Last I checked, which was back at the start of COVID, I think there were a few plans that I could get for literally like $600-700/month, but those plans basically don't cover anything, and they have crazy copays, so you're still paying a large fee when you go it for check ups and treatment. If I want to actually be able to walk into the doctor without a massive copay, if I want prescription drug coverage, and if I want hospital visits and emergency care covered, that costs way more.
