[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op where are you thinking of going?[/quote]

Singapore, Japan, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Germany, UK.....hell, it don't matter if you even have insurance. You can afford to pay out of pocket abroad because it is nowhere near as stupidly expensive as the US.[/quote]
Bingo! Even if we were willing to spend out of pocket for the sleep study, how much would it be? I think the biggest issue with healthcare isn't the insurance but rather the cost of it. Why can't we make health insurance like auto insurance? You pay out of pocket for routine maintenance, but should something catastrophic happen, you have insurance to back you up. That would involve the cost of healthcare coming down, however, so that people could actually afford it.

Using a sinus infection as an example, it can be $200+ to go to the doctor, have them look in your ears and nose, and ask a couple of questions. For a lot of people, $200 is a ton of money, so they will not have it taken care of in a timely manner. How much would a trip to the doctor in another country be for the exact same diagnosis and medication?[/quote]
