[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m amazed at the number of people who think health insurance is the main problem, as if the hospitals just honest businessmen submitting bills for their services and the docs as well. The whole system is a sh&t show. Cardiologist in the US make like a half a million, in the Uk it’s like £150K.

People should be mad at their legislators for allowing it to get this way. This is not to say that insurers don’t have their problems but they are but one cog in the wheel of grift and dysfunction. [/quote]

Cardiologists actually provide an extremely valuable service.  Insurance companies suck money out of the system.  Do you really not see the difference?[/quote]

Do you want to negotiate prices with all of your doctors on your own?[/quote]

Yes, actually.  I’d also like to know the cost of a procedure or visit up front, thanks.[/quote]

Go for it. Say you're a cash patient and see what they want to charge you.[/quote]

A lot less [/quote]

The cheapo stand-alone centers are no good for anything critical. You need a tertiary care center with good radiologists. Their cahs price is $10K for an abdominal MRI. Their billing people won’t budge.

Insurance companies pay under $2000 and still deny. [/quote]
