In December my wife had to have a CAT scan. At the clinic where it was done, they told us the co-pay would be $780, but, if we paid for it outright, it was $384. Also, the out of pocket cost for paying for the review of the CAT scan was $75, $325 if we ran it through our insurance.
Outlawing insurance would lower the cost of healthcare.
It’s the dirty little secret that BC & BS has known for decades.
I know our chiropractor makes more $ via co-pay. Its a crooked wasteful system and direct pay is anathema to so called affordable care. Not everyone is going to fall for this sham of a health care scheme.
No, outlawing the free-riders would lower the costs of insurance.
