My son spent two hours in an American hospital once. Docs literally just checked him out and waited to see if he had a concussion. The bill was $3,000. I love my universal health care. Private health can get hosed. If the United States isn't going to adopt universal health care, and it should, I feel like there are a few simple things you could do to make the current system just a tiny bit less poo poo: - Completely ban "in network" and "out of network" arrangements. Your health insurance applies everywhere. - A billing timeline. If you aren't billed within three months, you no longer have to pay. Too many stories of bills coming years later. - Premiums at 10% max of income, out of pocket max at another 10% of your income. Ideally everything would be free, but hey.

Kreeblah posted:Burn it all down, salt the earth, and guillotine the people responsible for it. The out of network thing is what scares the poo poo out of me. So you can do the right thing, go to an in-network hospital, but by bad luck have an out-of-network doctor, and be stuck with the bill? Such bullshit. Quick question: do out-of-network costs count towards your out of pocket maximum? Or does it depend on the plan?
