Last November I was out of town and I went to the emergency room for a kidney stone I was charged 5,000 dollars for the ER visit, the next day I flew home and again had to go to the emergency room this time I was charged 15,000 for the visit which was essentially the same each hospital gave me medication, fluids and a CT scan. I contacted my insurance carrier and they were like well you don’t actually pay the amount billed, we have contracts with different hospitals blah blah blah, the insurance company didn’t care that it was 10,00 dollars difference between the two,, in total that one kidney stone cost me 60,000 that is absurd! Why is it that the healthcare industry is allowed to het away with it? I mean why is it that i can not get a straight answer to how much will this cost? Recently I needed some dental work done and had to pay out of pocket and Up front and was quoted 2077 dollars which i paid and dental work was done, then to my surprise I received a bill for an additional 700 dollars and I like for what? You gave me a price I paid it and now your billing me for another 700 dollars? I mean when I take my car to be fixed and I m given an estimate they are usually pretty accurate. Our healthcare system is broken and needs to be fixed. Also please understand that when our healthcare system was set up it was set up as a for profit capitalistic entity. I also happen to work in the healthcare industry and I am disheartened by how bad it is, medical care should not destroy your life, I have always said even with insurance you can’t afford to get sick , if I am ever diagnosed with a serious illness, I m afraid I won’t be able to afford the treatment and therefore will have to decline any treatment.
