I fucking hate American healthcare.
Someone at my son's pediatrician office let slip that his Covid/flu combo test would've only cost $50 if they wouldn't have run it through insurance.
Naturally, I asked why they didn't just call and tell me that before they ran it through insurance so I could have saved some money.
Her response was "because that would be defrauding the insurance company."
I blew the fuck up on her. To this day, that bill for like $259 for a Covid/flu test hasn't been paid.
What the hell kind of test was it? The boxes of tests only started costing money within the last, I dunno, 1-2 years here in Canada and they don’t even cost that much, only about $20CAD.
Ya’ll literally live in a hellhole with paintjob. It’s like an apartment that looks pretty nice until you realize that the landlord just painted over all the mold on the walls and crossed their fingers that the water leak wasn’t gunna show up until it was at least too late.
Anyway, I’m sorry that you get robbed by the very institutions claiming to be helping you.
Fuck you - that paint job flaked off decades ago.
I say paintjob because there’s still a comparatively “clean” façade compared to countries where most of the people don’t have access to clean drinking water and stuff. It’s the big reason why I hate the US; they could just choose to be better but simply aren’t and they can’t even blame famines or outside influence(well, to some degree) or war within or near their borders. The paint is absolutely flaking off but there’re still a lot of intact patches for people to look at while pretending that everything is ok.
Believe me, we're doing our level best to get there.
