Information archaeologist 🧐 Finding truth one dig at a time
Yes!!!
An ER visit last fall resulted in a $1650 charge for the ER Dr for a 5-minute visit It was 'coded' as a 'high kevel of medical decision making'.
I was checked into a room and lab tests were run, and TWO OTHER Drs stopped by twice for 5 minutes each, over my 2-day stay. Their combined charges were $3700 -- quite a bill for their time @ 10 minutes each.
Lab tests came back severely low B12 and blood volume, so they gave blood transfusion and started B12 injections. I suppose that $3700 was also justified as another 'high level of medical decision making', even though almost anyone could have looked at the lab results and said, "Hey, you need what the lab tests show you're low on." 🤨
Add another $800 for add'l outpatient tests 3 days later (which showed nothing), bringing total chrges for their "medical expertise" to over $6,000.
I have no insurance.
What a racket they have going!!!
The medical system is a corrupt criminal organization. 🤬

That's terrible. Also a reason why I'm still working at 69 and won't be able to retire until 70 or 71. I need the insurance as much as I need the paycheck.
I totally get it.
The way the system is now, medical care is inaccessible without insurance or going into extreme debt.
They do what they want to do, and charge what they want to charge.
Social Security has part B to cover doctors, but many cannot afford the extra $180 a month for it.
I see people in their 70s and 80s working at Walmart to make ends meet.
It's just sad, and so wrong.
Many elderly are on tight budgets, but wind up crushed under oppressive medical debt.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
The entire system has to be dismantled.
