Nearly half of cancer patients have more than $5,000 in medical debt, even though most are insured - Lemmy.World

I had the best insurance my firm offered, and even with that insurance having a cataract removed still cost me over $4000 USD out of pocket here in Miami Florida 2023.

It’s cheaper just to die.

Did you purchase a “premium” lens?

You know I had to go back and actually look. I did. I also opted for a $1500 not covered by my insurance. I bought the same type of lens as my other eye done in Seattle in 2017, different script. Still over twice as much as I had paid in Seattle.

Good catch. Thank you.

Np, thx for checking 😁
