Out Of Management Healthcare Prices: Price of Annual Household Well being Protection within the US Now Tops $20ok!

I am an Emergency Physician. I have to enter a service level for generating a patient's bill in the ER. Even if it's something simple I can build a higher level of care by asking you if you smoke or drink, I can bump it up another level if I say that I asked you about several different aspects of how your health is doing. If I order a shot I can feel a little if I ask the nurse to give it intravenously I can Bill a lot. As reimbursement goes down all the Physicians just keep increasing the level of service that they claim on every patient bill. No one ever audits this or comes back to Physicians and say that they are overbilling, it just gets paid. I just checking a few more boxes you can turn an $80 emergency bill into $600. All the positions do this and nobody considers that there ripping anybody off. Welcome to America

(this is in Germany) I needed an MRT scan (all is well) – price would be 1900 euros. I confronted them with price quotes I found online. "But didnt you say you had private insurance?"
Eventually I went to an individual clinic that charged me 600 euros when paying directly (using the EXACT SAME equipment).

Jason, I'm kind of disappointed you're not doing the sugarbaby show, I guess a lot of listeners don't want to be reminded that their daughter is sucking some 60-year-old guys schriveled up dick so they can buy that new iPhone and handbag.

That big mac combo costs more than the billboard says.

its not health care its sick care. whens the last time they cured anything. demorats and repulsikins. they have a 18 percent vat in colombia the country. its a killer. really hurts peoples spending.

I had cancelled my medical insurance as a cost saving measure, and sure as fate, one son got appendicitis which required a second operation due to complications. Faced with about $50,000 in bills, I did a little research and found that medical care providers actually charge individuals much more than they charged insurance companies, who grind them down in the process of bargaining for contracts. I was being charged the "full retail" price, so I wrote letters to all the providers offering to settle the bill for an immediate 50% cash payment. Essentially ALL of them accepted, realizing that trying to squeeze the full amount out of an actual living person without insurance would be a losing game. And that is what we are up against, and an illustration of how "health insurance" costs everyone more money in premiums because we are told that Somebody Else will pay your bills. Turns out that the "Somebody Else" is only ourselves.

I'm not sure what you been smoking. When you go to a Dr these days you sign a personal guarantee before any price is even presented!

is it possible they are hurting more people than they r helping with the billing fraud?

I have paid that $800 tax for the last six or seven years. Just got out of it turn 66.

I left my job and went to check out the market. A perfectly healthy family two adults and a 5 year old. They want 1200.00 a month and over 6k deductible it's worthless I never even use it.

There is only one good doctor and that's Dr. Mercola.
