My routine colonoscopy was over $1000 and insurance covered alllll but $300.
I went to a Dr for the first time in 3 years to have my shoulder looked at. Spent about an hour at the place, and saw the Dr for maybe 5 minutes. I ended up getting prescribed maximum daily dose of acetaminophen, and some steroids (cheap garden variety). All in it cost me 167 dollars, which was within my deductible, so after a month, I finally got a bill for the full amount. The 200 bucks a month for my insurance and it didn't cover shit (my employer pays most of it, but my contribution is still like 240 dollars a year).
Health insurance in the US is a racket.
