It looks like you received two bills, and your insurance co. paid their share of each one, leaving you with your deductable. There’s no indication that others benefitted from any of this—why would you bring that up? This is only between you and your insurance co. Pay the bill.
“There’s no indication that others benefitted from any of this..”
I had a doctor explain to me the high cost of an operation that I had about 15 years ago (mostly covered by insurance). He said it was to cover those on medicare (aide??) and those that could not or would not pay their bill. I asked him what he thought my $4000 surgery was really worth. About $2500 he figured. He said “Don’t let anybody tell you that we don’t have socialized medicine in America.” (This was about the time of Hillarycare).
