Fuck.....
Exactly.
We do this at my work. MRI if paid for up front is $500...if the patient doesn't pay up front it's $1500. Bottom line...8 out of every 10 patients who are uninsured (or under-insured) will never pay a dime to the healthcare organization where they received medical care, once they leave the building. If you offer a deeply discounted rate, many patients will pay up front. If you live in a big city, shop around. $3800 for an MRI is absurd.
Regardless of whatever spin they put on it to justify it, it's still a racket and they're screwing people over. Yeah, it sucks that there are deadbeats that don't pay their bills, but it's wrong to punish everyone for not having the cash or insurance to deal with everything up front. It's also wrong to penalize those who do pay off their bills just because the best they can do is make payments. There is no reason for the shit to be that expensive; IMO opinion they do it because they can get away with it.
its all such a shitty scam. I pray some type of work visa to another country comes through, I am so beyond done with shit hole of a country.
Yep.
By the way, I hate when I have to provide my own manual stimulation & I'm only left feeling even more unfulfilled & turned on.
Yeah, I hate that too. It's extremely frustrating.
