Private health Insurance

[Duck_walk]

This story is exactly why "free market" health insurance is absolute BS. This same type of thing on a smaller scale has happened to 3 different people in my extended family.

Yeah, who wouldn't be surprised when you get billed?

You know that is NOT what he's saying.

How would I know what Duck is saying? He NEVER says anything! He posts what someone else tweets and ignores what everyone else says.

I refuse any medical treatment until they give me a written quotation for all procedures.

You have to be an idiot to agree to a procedure if you don’t know if it’s going to cost $500 or $50,000

You are buying a service people, make them tell you up front what it’s going to cost

And don't be surprised when you get billed for it!

Or just die while you're waiting for them get the price for you.

Yes unless they need a life saving procedure or timely medical help. Then the US is the place to be.

I have to admit, this happened to us too... it is so frustrating to get a bill up to a year later.

I have private insurance, but our adopted kids have public insurance. hands down what our adopted kids have is way easier to manage than our private.
