[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who uses the ER over regular doctors or urgent care because her insurance is through her husband, who is a fed, and she wants the higher bills to get her deductible each year.  Once she hits that deductible, everything is paid for.  It's how she's gotten two elective surgeries in the past three years.  Elective as in she didn't really need it, but she found a doc who would do it, not elective as in plastic surgery.

Seems like every other week she's doing a check-in and obligatory picture post of her daughter's hospital wristband.  The last 4 ER trips on her timeline took place from 9/21 to now... DD slid down the stairs and her butt hurts, DD stabbed herself with her mechanical pencil and is pretty sure there's lead stuck in her, DD shut her finger in her locker, and DD fell playing basketball and may need stitches (spoiler alert - she just got steri-strips because it was a goddamn skinned knee!).

I'm having lunch with this friend next week and I can't wait to find out what surgery she's gearing up for this year.  Usually she's posting for prayers and "People who have had ____ done, talk to me about recovery" messages around this time of year.    [/quote]

She can't be that stupid. The deductible would be the same whether satisfied via er visits or through her one or two surgeries. [/quote]
