Is having no insurance sometimes better than having coverage?

My health insurance premium is $556/ month as an individual with a $4,500 yearly deductible. I feel like I’m throwing money in the trash. Over the past 5 years I’ve paid over $35,000 for health insurance I’ve never used. Are there situations where having no coverage is a viable option? Are there other avenues to utilize if you have a health disaster and are uninsured? What about medical tourism? Are out-of-pocket costs in other countries like Canada or Mexico affordable? would like to start going to my doctor for checkup and regular tests but I usually stay away since I will never reach my deductible.
