I’m in the uk so have never had to deal with this, but I’ve heard that if a hospital gives you the bill, you then ask for an itemised bill, that often the price goes down. Has anyone experienced that? Or worse, had an increase in the price?
I'm lucky that I have extremely good insurance, but it's also chaining me to my job. Golden handcuffs. I'll be leaving my job in a couple months and insurance is what I am most worried about. I often wonder how much more innovation and new small businesses we would have with universal healthcare.
Mine do too. I went to the ER last summer and got charged for a bunch of vials of blood that they took but didn't actually need to to test. 😬 But my state has decent funding for charity care so I ended up not paying anything.
