My Buddy in TN drove to the ER a few weeks back with chest pain. EKG, CAT scan, blood tests etc.
There 6 hours sent home as fine...
He got the bill today. I kept telling him to get health insurance...

So much of the health care system is really bad. My wife had some eye inflammation. She was prescribed eye drops by the doc. Went to pick up the bottle of drops and found out the price was $1,300.00 and change.That's nothing short of criminal! It's sickening.![]()
Note to self - never put @Zee09 on speaker phone...I feel bad now...because I set him up today. He went into Wendy's because they forgot his drink. He was talking to me the whole time via Bluetooth and I waited to he got to the counter and I heard him ask at the counter and I heard other people talking and I loudly asked him to tell me he loved me... I always get that fool...![]()

Luckily for me I’ve got health insurance, dental insurance and vision insurance. Even if I only end up needing any of them once it’s still better than full price.At least AutoMechanic can now afford that kind of stuff.
Needless to say we declined the drops and told the doc we needed something affordable. We wound up with something a little over $100. and that was with insurance.I can't imagine any "Eyedrops" that should cost $1,300.00! It's all an absolute ripoff!
This kind of nonsense is why there wasn't any sympathy for the Health Insurance CEO that got shot and killed.
I sure don't condone what happened to him, but this greedy system is the exact reason there was no sympathy for his death. This system has probably caused the premature death of a lot of people, simply because of the greed and outrageous costs.
If you have never delved into hospital billing you have no idea what a scam it is.My Buddy in TN drove to the ER a few weeks back with chest pain. EKG, CAT scan, blood tests etc.

I had several blood tests in 2018 and got a bill for $10,400... I called them and told them I had insurance and they took it when the test was done.If you have never delved into hospital billing you have no idea what a scam it is.
Anyone that has ever said our system is good has never had to deal with this.
If he had insurance they would likely pay $7K or thereabouts. Insurance rate seems to be about 1/6th.
Yup it would go political in 25 secondsI would love to start a thread about all this health care insurance and prescription costs. I have a few tales. But I know the thread would wind up being locked.
I'm just relaxingI’m just chilling at the Walmart looking at deodorant. Heading to the movie section soon. Can’t decide what deodorant or movies I want today lol.
The guy is going to give himself deodorant poisoning at this rate.Nothing like a stick of deodorant to settle out the week![]()
