Wow. It's as if the general public were being forced at gunpoint to go through insurance companies and simply can't pay the market rate with cash pay if they wanted to *eyerolls*

[@a.humanbeing8171]

@@SamianHQuazi so- funny thing. I actually know numbers since I receive a large stack of Explanation of Benefits forms every year and I actually read them. My medical insurance company, I've been told, "pays well". Apparently, that means that generally paying 25% of a bill is very good. Have you ever pumped a tank of gas and said, "naw, 25% is what I'll pay". Me, neither. If I go cash pay, what do you think the odds of getting a 75% discount for cash will be? I know that, too! The answer is absolutely zero- medical insurance companies contractually require all businesses that contract with them to not provide the same discounts to cash pay as they receive. At best, I've managed to get 25% or so discounted for cash payments. Some doctors who feel bad sort of work around the problem by throwing in freebies they'd usually charge for, but I think they'd get the side eye from insurance companies over the practice. I truly hope you were trying be funny because if you weren't, your comment is borderline hateful. This world has plenty of hate already- why don't you try to be more unique and be positive and uplifting instead?

[@SamianHQuazi]

@@a.humanbeing8171 So you do the math with your own budget and decide if you want to pay the bills in cash or pay out with insurance. Maybe you should take your beef out to this celebrity ophthamologist (himself paid to be one of the top 0.1% of Americans) and get him to go cash pay only. He loves to whine about health insurance companies but doesn't dare bring up the alternative - telling all doctors to just forego insurance - because he knows that having the masses pay out of pocket would shift the ire from the insurers to the wealthy as hell physicians.

[@dakine1984]

@@a.humanbeing8171 to be fair, (in the US) doctor's offices and labs charge more to insurances than to patients paying out of pocket - but might still receive less money. For my last surgery, my insurance deemed part of it not medically necessary (granted, I guess men can live without nipples), so I paid for 1 hour OR time, anesthesia and surgeon fee out of pocket, while the insurance payed the remaining 3 hours. Now, I paid the surgeon 1150 dollar for that hour. He billed my insurance around 38,000 for the 3 hours and received 750 dollar. So my out of pocket invoice was much lower than his hourly rate to the insurance (12,500 bucks vs 1150), but he still got more money from me for 1/3rd of the time than he got from my insurance. Same for labs, a colleague of mine had her Dutch insurance cover emergency stuff in the US, but when she got pregnant while being in the States, those costs were not covered. She called the lab to discuss the costs for bloodwork she got. Once they found out she pays out of pocket without insurance reimbursement, they cut the costs down to 20% of their initial fees.

@@charesepelham7682 Yeah, the long waiting lists are a trouble everywhere, but you can still get past them by going private if needed. Also, every healthcare is as good as resources that they have and long waiting lists are results of many different reasons. It is not a good system's fault if the serious staff shortage makes it harder to get the treatment in timely manner. I am living in Ireland and the waiting lists in here are years. But if you are serious enough, you will get immediate FREE treatment and else you just hang on or go private. But it does guarantee that EVERYBODY do get treated eventually. And that people on lower income do not die for not receiving the treatment at all. Or that any income level, you do not go bankrupt if you or somebody from your family becomes seriously ill.

Independent pharmacies make so little, they’re forced to sell all those otc meds and front-end crap just to make ends meet.

Oh trust me, the US (where I live) gets justifiably clowned for this by other Western nations constantly. It's truly horrible

[@Thuazabi]

It isn't. The US is basically the only developed nation that screws its people over like this. Not sure where you live, but this definitely isn't the norm in many parts of the world.

@julieeee1111 Another reason for me to move.

last year i was given a special bone machine to fix my fractured ankle faster. United Healthcare initially rejected the claim because “it wasn’t that serious of a break” UM. Obviously serious enough for my orthopedist to prescribe it?? I was afraid I would have to pay the 2K- still had to pay a lot out of pocket but thankfully not the full amount

I've said it before and I'll say it a million times more so people really get it - I have welfare insurance. "Premium" welfare insurance due to physical disability. This insurance no longer covers my ostomy supplies, because they don't cover "non-durable medical supplies", only "durable" supplies. Fucking _ostomy supplies,_ which are literally needed in order to function and survive. They cost well over $100 for a months' supply on Amazon, which I can't always afford, so I'm destroying my skin in trying to make them last way longer than they're ever supposed to. Just to note, that in case you don't know what an ostomy is it's what we all know as a shit bag, sooo I'm sure you can imagine why that's medically necessary -_-

@@Hope4all2 Count on me too. I’m also on disability, but I’ll definitely do whatever I can.
