As is my understanding and experience the law now forbids a different price for paying cash as it does for paying with insurance. If I had non emergency care I needed I use to shop around. Now, it doesn’t matter. I’m sure before Obama is out of office “the secretary shall determine” that ALL care must be paid for with insurance. No one will be allowed to pay cash.
Freedom ain’t what it used to be. ;-)
My strength is that we VERY rarely use doctors. I haven’t seen one for many years. I do see a chiropractor for $25 a visit a couple times a year, and I see the dentist from time to time for about $100 for cleaning, x-rays, etc.
Heck, my last dentist visit was my first in six years and my teeth and gums were in great shape. It’s because we take personal responsibility for our health - and we very much trust in the Lord.
