oops!
“Did I do that?”
an xray - $500?
boy philiipines/thailand basic medicine looks a lot better every day.
chances are she’d be paying the full cost of that x-ray anyway, given obamacare plan deductibles are HUGE and you have to pay all of that first before the plans pay anything.
What did she think a $4500 dollar meant? Maybe, that the us taxpayers would be picking up the first 4500, too?
Noooooooooooooooo!
I be here for that free B-Rock O’Breezy health care chit.
Hmmm. This is the ER my daughter works in. I’ll have to ask her about it.
We haven’t received our insurance cards, either. They did send a letter, stating we are enrolled, but who knows if the hospital would accept that.
That's what it costs when you use the emergency room for your primary care. It would be no more than $100 if done at a doctor's office.
See what happens - when people who know nothing about one-sixth of an economy - monkey around with it?
You wanted it, you got it....suffer for being stupid
Yup. And a whole bunch of really stupid people are soon going to learn that Obama’s “free shit” ain’t exactly free.
It's unlikely that a valid insurance card would have changed Galvez' fortunes, however.True. The deductibles on even the cheapest ObamaCare policies is such that pretty much assured that a $500 charge is going to be out-of-pocket, even if you are covered.
How’s that Hopenchange workin out for ya?
Next prediction is that our Dear Leader will issue another decree, er, regulation, requiring the hospital to treat at its own financial risk if it turns out the alleged Obamacare signer-upper didn't actually sign up. And/or, if they thought they signed up but didn't pay the premium, the insurance company will be forced to cover anyway.
The morning of their discontent arrives for the LIV’s!
Didn’t On High issue an edict that forces hospitals to take patients and trust the insurance companies to pay up later?
On High needs to come down off Olympus and fix this Obamacrap.
Welcome to the Soros and Obama orchestrated New World Order where you are a number, not a person. Kind of ironic that all the me, me, me morons that put him in office will no longer receive any the attention they think they deserve, don’t ya think?
It shouldn’t be the end of the world if you pay, and then your insurance company reimburses you.
Here, though, there’s a second problem in addition to the fact that the hospital can’t tell if she’s insured. Because she’s documented as being in an insurance pricing club, they hit her with the “list” price of $500. The insured cost—even if it’s not covered by the deductible, might be $100 or $150.
