depending on how often you really need a hospital, probably be better off haggling them down when you need to go, and putting what you would be paying to insurance into a bank account

2018-05-24 17:44:57 UTC  

Basically

2018-05-24 17:45:25 UTC  

Hospital visits are tricky to negotiate

2018-05-24 17:45:35 UTC  

no more questions of if all the money you are giving them is pissed away when they say "yeah, needing to have a Gangrene leg removed is NOT a life save procedure"

2018-05-24 17:45:38 UTC  

You can't negotiate until you're about to be discharged

2018-05-24 17:46:46 UTC  

"What? your heart is failing and needs to be replaced? Yeah, thats considered an elective procedure"

2018-05-24 17:47:01 UTC  

That's just corruption

2018-05-24 17:47:27 UTC  

But anyway. I posted that hospital bill for a rattlesnake bite, and people are calling it a failure of healthcare

2018-05-24 17:48:06 UTC  

This is a case I outright believe is exceptional

2018-05-24 17:48:54 UTC  

thats for a rattlesnake bite? tf they take you to radiology for?

2018-05-24 17:49:23 UTC  

"hmmm.... yep. its a bite already. we totally needed to x-ray this to see that."

2018-05-24 17:49:25 UTC  

I'm not sure yet, but you're allowed to refuse aspects of service.

2018-05-24 17:49:46 UTC  

MRI maybe?

2018-05-24 17:49:57 UTC  

where did you get bite?

2018-05-24 17:50:08 UTC  

It's not mine. lol

2018-05-24 17:50:14 UTC  

where did they get bite

2018-05-24 17:50:31 UTC  

in the head?

2018-05-24 17:50:48 UTC  

Dunno

2018-05-24 17:51:12 UTC  

The story isn't complete

2018-05-24 17:51:14 UTC  

It needs to be

2018-05-24 17:51:33 UTC  

assuming nothing had started to die off yet, shouldn't it be just some anti-venom, pain meds, and then wait?

2018-05-24 17:52:04 UTC  

How fast do you think rattlesnake bites take to set in?

2018-05-24 17:52:36 UTC  

They can be from minutes to hours.

2018-05-24 17:53:08 UTC  

MINUTES.

2018-05-24 17:53:25 UTC  

for a bill like that, they better have been in the middle of no where or have a pretty bad reaction

2018-05-24 17:54:08 UTC  

I agree that this is an extreme case

2018-05-24 17:56:13 UTC  

that's 80k in meds.

2018-05-24 17:56:45 UTC  

and 20k in like blood work

2018-05-24 17:57:13 UTC  

I'm certain you can negotiate it down a lot, but not to a satisfactory degree. You would have to set up a payment plan

2018-05-24 17:58:46 UTC  

There's literally not much insurance companies do that you can't do.

2018-05-24 17:59:53 UTC  

And I was talking to a British fellow about how he thought universal health care was good. And I suppose it's nice to be able to go to a doctor when you have a cold or flu.

2018-05-24 18:00:19 UTC  

But I'm a fan of being able to take care of oneself.

2018-05-24 18:06:22 UTC  

communists

2018-05-24 18:06:43 UTC  

I think this name is better

2018-05-24 18:07:17 UTC  

I want a separate islamist football network

@Deadpool He's going to get fired.

2018-05-24 18:08:20 UTC

2018-05-24 18:08:24 UTC  

Or lose his team. Whichever
