Health Insurance Card: “Emergency Visit: $50 Copay” Bill: $1269.60

The fallout of The E.R.’s Embrace.

Yes, the copay was $50, as the insurance card claimed. The tests and “coinsurance” brought it to $1269.60. I was making sure my severe and rapidly worsening nerve pain at 3a wasn’t part of a stroke or other neurological issue that would have ended up costing the insurance company way more. Deny, Defend, Depose.

If you’d like to help me out with it, please buy me a ko-fi. See you at the USA healthcare revolution, fellow body-haver.

I think it's funny I figured out I had Tourettes more because of YouTube than USA medical systems.

Because nobody knew what was wrong until I was 27.

A YouTuber popped up - #SweetAnita who I followed cuz she was funny. Then noticed her doing things my mom did when she wasn't on her meds.

Then noticed I was also doing things she was doing without the constant vulgar out bursts.

Then met a doctor with Tourettes too and he confirmed it.

The gentle chords of a familiar song drifted through the living room as sunlight spilled across the kitchen table. I stirred my coffee absently, lost in thought about my neighbor, Emily. #AffordableCareAct #familyhealthplans #financialsecurity #HDHP #healthcoverage #healthinsurance #HMO #insuranceproviders #PPO #USAhealthcare

Hey non-USA folks: anytime anyone says American healthcare is great tell them your boy Chang says NO IT FUCKIN' AIN'T!!! I just had to shell out $1,000 for 3 fillings to be replaced. Bad teeth or not that's insane. If I had insurance it wouldn't even be covered because most insurance excludes dental & vision. Because eyes & teeth fall out I guess they're not the same as your lungs & heart?

At least I have this sweet new grill! NOT

@ElizabethLeeCo Why, I know that feeling well.

Its comrade in arms is my battle to keep my mouth shut when someone from another country compares something to a bad American thing that, though perhaps being correct, is also common knowledge we're trying not to think about. #USAHealthCare
