| Ravenwood Farm |
| It's truly awful what the healthcare system is like in USA currently. I feel awful for everyone having to navigate all of that💔 |
| FirstLightFarms |
| And the fact that "free medical care for all" is a "radical" idea is. Just sad. |
| Stormsong Manor |
| I think it was around 6k out of pocket when everything was said and done. 65k for a failed induction (my doctor's idea) and then the c-section (didn't have a choice) |
| The Old Gods |
| Also, protip for medication prior auths: most of the time it's because the doctor doesn't send in the requested information. Pester yo doctors |
| The Unknown |
| Interesting. It's so... I want to say barbaric that people would rather die than visit the hospital because they don't want to put themselves and/or their families into crippling debt |
| FirstLightFarms |
| First off, it shouldn't actually cost 65k to have a baby. What you actually paid out of pocket is probably the real cost and then they just pad the shit out of it because they can because insurance |
| The Old Gods |
| Depends on the insurance and the type of blood draw. I've had to do co-pay for some, others were paid. Also depended on if I'd met my yearly deductable |
| Glowing Pines |
| Puck I can't remember how much mine was, but it DEFINITELY wasn't 4k. And I got more done than just medicine and being sent home. That's insane |

| healthcare is in a crisis right now. I see it everyday at work. No beds, No staff etc |
| Stormsong Manor |
| Because a lot of people wouldn't get their fat profits if we switched to a healthcare system that made sense, and those boys really need their 3-4 yachts |

| As someone who works in healthcare, let your bills go to claims. It's a HIPAA violation for them to come after you. |

| Question for the Americans in chat: do you have to pay a crapload for blood draws? I get them monthly for thyroid monitoring and can walk in and out of the lab within 20 minutes and pay nothing. |
| Insignia Elites |
| I never understood how a first world country like the states has healthcare that people can't go to the hospital for help due to funds |
| FirstLightFarms |
| I think my last ER visit was $4k, WITH INSURANCE, to sit unconscious in their hallway for 6 hours and then be sent home with anti nausea medication. |
