Current situation: Over past 10 years have paid $22,000 in premiums on our now 15 year old daughter. After O'care became law, premiums tripled, deductible went from $500 to $2500 and copay went from 10% to 20%.

Daughter schedule for surgery Aug. 8 to remove Gall Bladder. Got this news yesterday…out of pocket for surgeon, anesthesiologist and overnight hospital charges: $6,752.

To any dems, liberals, socialists, haters of America who advocate free medical care for illegal aliens, who may be monitoring this board…

GO FUCK YOURSELF

No they won't, nobody will address this. Here's the kicker.

She needed a test last month, HIDA scan. The day before the test, I got a text from the provide telling us our out of pocket for this test was $964. I called the insurance company and was told the provider requested a pre approval for $2,006 which the insurance company reduced to above figure. I called around and got the test done for $245 cash!!! I tried to submit the bill to the insurance company and was told I would have to pay a fine for getting care "out of network."

I just got the figures yesterday, haven't spoke to the insurance company, but with 20% copay I can get a pretty good idea of what has been billed for pre approval by these providers. Funny thing is, I can get the entire thing done elsewhere for $6500 cash. I plan on calling the providers today and attempt to negotiate, if they refuse then I will simply pay cash to the other provider and these others will get nothing from the insurance company.

I call it "your money or your life" healthcare. They are all greedy thieves playing the "coding" game. Fuck em.
