I had to take my kid to an express care doctor in the US. My wife had the insurance cards and was on travel. I said I would just pay cash. They said because I had insurance I was not legally allowed to pay cash.

There is no such law. But many employees in healthcare provider organizations are ignorant about the law and just repeat what someone told them.
