Not to mention the headache. It feels like every time I get treatment I have to argue with my insurance until they eventually cave (assuming it’s something they actually cover). I asked my mom if this is how healthcare is really like and she said “yeah it’s just the culture, it’s normal” acting as it having to beat the fuck out of a metaphorical piñata to pay for life saving treatment is ok or acceptable. Like why the fuck can’t you just pay for the treatment that I fucking pay you to cover?
Oh god, I hear ya. A long while back I needed some serious treatment and ended up in a hospital for two weeks. It was the first time I had ever gotten truly sick, so I was dreading the final bill. But when the docs said nah you’re good, it’s covered, just take your meds and come back in a week for your follow-up, I damn near died a second time :P
