Health insurance is such a crock of warm kitty doodoo...we pay all this money for premiums, and they still manage to milk even more money out of us for copays and things that are supposedly not covered. But it's terrible to be without--the last time I got bloodwork done the tests would have been like $500, but my insurance paid their rate, which was 80. It's sick the cash rate is much higher than the insurance pay rate! Healthcare in this country is messed up...part of the reason my last visit to urgent care to get stitches out took so long is because they wouldn't see me without confirming my insurance, but no one was available to talk at the insurance office on Friday afternoon! It took almost an hour just to get it confirmed so that I could see a dr. for less than 1 min.
