Hey y’all,

This is specifically for people in the US healthcare system.

If you are getting a test or procedure done, ask them what the cost is without insurance. It may end up being significantly cheaper.

I had to go get a basic metabolic panel blood test today and they were going to charge me $350. When I asked what the cost was without insurance, it was $100. Mind you, I have good insurance. It’s around $1500 a month.

This has happened multiple other times with different people that I know. Just asking could save you a significant amount of money.

    I love you American healthcare system thank you for making everyone broke and in debt for basic medical care and lining the hospital CEO’s pockets thank you insurance companies for price gouging and lobbying Congress thank you for this 100% fair and ethical system that I’m forced to navigate 😍🥰🤗

      I love having to spend insane amounts of money to be able to exist in my body without wanting to die #spendmaxxing #insurancepilled

        Every so often I get annoyed at Australia’s healthcare system, then I remember the US. Sorry dude.
