My eye-opener “wtf is going on over there” moment was when someone told me they Ubered to the hospital after they broke their arm cause ambulances are expensive.
I started having double vision (and have a history of seizures). I drove myself to the Urgent Care, who told me to drive to the ER, who let a medical student look at me for fifteen minutes, and then sent me home (I drove back).
At least it was only a few hundred dollars wasted, instead of a few thousand with the ambulance.
As if having insurance means you get treated…
Of course they will treat them. How else will they get to bill them $500,000 /s
Oh boy when did they americanize Pokémon?
Insurance Company: “Claim denied. individual deductible unmet.”
No joke, we spent ~$16k on out of pocket medical expenses in 2024. That was on top of the very pricey employer sponsored insurance plan that I had for most of the year.
Gonna need a lot of insurance yourself asking a question like that.
