    Thank you for providing some reason. I’m glad the person you’re replying to has never had crappy insurance before. This bill is completely within the US standards especially with a high deductible plan.

      I don’t like that I’ve had to learn so much about medical billing to keep from getting fucked over by procedures honestly. I used to just go do things and ignore the cost because health > money. But then the prices started skyrocketing for simple things and I’ve had to learn to jump and dodge costs. It’s asinine having to be your own doctor, lab tech, and billing department just to play within the confines of the US medical system.

      I feel pointless overhead like this is designed to keep us so busy, we don’t have energy left to realize how fucked we are, let alone react to it. But, “mah freedumb!”
