What I don't understand is this:
I go to the DR for XYZ medical problem. If I don't have insurance, they give me the bill and it'll be something like $500 for the XYZ proceedure. However, if I have insurance, then it will cost me $10. But, my insurance company doesn't actually pay the $490 difference. They pay a prenegotiated rate of something like $180. It's wrong. Can someone explain this too me?

Your insurance company bargained with the doctor's office. Kinda like going to Sams Club vs Walmart.
Of course there is a lot of politics going on with this....especially with prescriptions.
