[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to figure out a cost structure so that people know what they are going to pay from office to office.  Personal example - blood tests cost me $10 at labcorp and almost $500 at a hospital lab.  After calling the insurance company to try to confirm that costs were not different.  Apparently, I didn't ask the question the right way?

Oh, and under the same damn insurance company (but a name change for my husband's company), my daughter's generic ADHD meds went from costing $5 to $50 per month.  The brand name, which makes her sick to her stomach, now is cheaper than the generic.

Fucking insurance companies.

And if you think our current system isn't limiting what type of care we receive, you're nuts.

Insurance companies are the reason your costs have gone up, not ACA.[/quote]

Overall...your comments are BS. For one thing...in order for your blood test at LabCorp to have cost you $10 is simple, it's a co-pay. Not the actual cost.[/quote]

Overall.... PP is right. Whether or not PP's drugs were covered under her plan, insurance companies really do limit your choices and set the prices you pay. Single payer would help fix this.

Congress is completely complicit in supporting the insurance industry over actual patients. Congress actually passed a law saying the government can't negotiate drug prices under Medicare, which means big pharma has Medicare by the throat. That's the pits, IMO.[/quote]
