Hey jackasses I gave you my insurance multiple times that trip (psst communicate with the upstairs people that sent me to you so I don't loving have to do it again) , and you fuckers couldn't manage to find it when it came time to bill me? Not only that but you give me a bill with "unlisted diagnostic gastroenterology procedure" on it? Really? WELL DONE A+++. I usually like the things I'm being billed for to be clear, but apparently that's just asking too much. On a previous visit you couldn't manage to get me an unnecessary wheel chair for an hour or so that was fun too. I'm sure if I left on my own and fell WE AREN'T LIABLE WE TOLD YOU TO WAIT even though I'm pacing around clearly able to walk. Also why the gently caress do you get to handle your bill poo poo in another state? Let's see we have a po box in Colorado... nope that isn't where the hospital is located. You want me to send it to Boston? Closer but still not right. It's okay we can't expect you to locally do billing that would be absurd.

Why yes, this is in America.

Nope no medicaid. I could even afford this 485.30 charge but I'm pretty sure my insurance is suppose to cover at the very least some of it.

Instead we get Grandpa Poverty whining about not wanting to spend 20 seconds putting his health insurance information on a few doctor bills so they can get reimbursed from his insurance company.

Oh yes I totally wasn't asked for my insurance card multiple times. They didn't take a picture of me to prevent insurance fraud either, none of that happened.

Hospital charges are separate from doctor/specialist/technician charges.

If Johnny Specialist, MD looked at your chart for 20 seconds and gave an opinion, he will be billing you for that.

Oh you bet but when the doctor requests a procedure why can't that information be magically transported to the people in charge of checking in for a procedure? Is that too much to ask? Is that some crazy impossibility? Also how the gently caress do you manage to bill me when I gave you my insurance twice? Once, and then again on the phone for some reason (I don't know something to do with there system and someone else needing to set up the appointment or something)

No for real when I was ten I had surgery for a hole in my heart. I had to take steroid inhalers for a couple years to rebuild lung / heart tissue. Just a few years ago I fell 25 feet on to pavement and landed on my face and that was all covered too

Yeah, no seriously Americans get charged 600 bucks for bandaids, a 1000 for some tylenol. It's hilarious.

my old healthcare covered my wife's multiple sclerosis medication 100% but now it only covers 80% of the $8000 per month so now she doesn't get treated woo and even though i don't make enough to cover it i don't make little enough to get help woo

I go the doctor for free because I live in Canada and we love Healthcare. I got cancer treatment for free. Last time I had to pay for medicine my Union dues covered. Hope that helps America.

yeah but you had to wait in line until you died because of healthcare shortages cause your doctors are state paid and make nothing, so no one becomes a doctor

I actually jump most queues now because I'm in a long term study on cancer survivors.
My dad was laid off like 2 months into my treatment, and instead of going bankrupt and watching me die, he now makes a poo poo load of money and I can poo poo post.

yeah but at what cost? you're basically a slave to the state and statists because you let them steal from you and others - AT GUNPOINTS - to pay for things that aren't they're responsibility. plus you're lucky you didn't die since there' sno competetition among canadian doctors so they don't even care about anything at all, ever!!
