Reality
In what world would you EVER agree to buy something/receive a service WITHOUT knowing what it costs? Seriously.
Well, in the United States health care system, the answer is “All the damn time.”
I have a pt who needs a procedure and the insurance company can only estimate that it could cost between $3,000 and $70,000 out of pocket but they can’t *know* for certain until the procedure is done.
Like, ok, you give me a range of 5-10k? That’s one thing. 3-70k? Like, what the actual fuck?
Fuck insurance companies. Fuck them for denying essential care to my patients. And FUCK THEM for being IMPOSSIBLE to ACTUALLY talk to. Like, a real person and not a damn phone tree.
