basic Health insurance questions?

Hello everyone. I come from a country where health insurance always covers everything, and I never cared of that so much. Now being in the US I find everything very confusing and would highly appreciate if someone could answer me some basic questions:
Hello everyone. I come from a country where health insurance always covers everything, and I never cared of that so much. Now being in the US I find everything very confusing and would highly appreciate if someone could answer me some basic questions:
what do the following terms mean in regards to health insurances:
#1: Annual deductible: Individual/Family
#2: Out-of-pocket maximum: Individual/Family
#3: Coinsurance percentage
#4: Lifetime coverage limit
(the latter is 5000 which sounds unbelievable to me)
Further, how does a health savings account helps me. If I take a plan with HSA I seem to have to pay more so I wonder how that makes sense.
Thanks alot.
