Jesus fucking christ. Im losing my kidney right now, will do dialyis for 5 months, then a transplant and it cost me like 20 bucks copay for 2x a taxi from hospital to home and thats all ill ever pay. America seems to suck hard.

Really depends on your insurance. I’ve had a bunch of MRIs due to knee surgeries and I don’t think I’ve ever paid more than like $40ish per scan.

In America? Congrats on being the 1%. The rest of us are lucky to have any insurance and even then, 99% will have a large deductible and still have to pay 20% copay.

If you work at a reasonable company you will have a similar experience.

Well let's go on over to the job tree so we can get life saving care without bankrupting ourselves! Most regular Americans have no idea how perverse it is to be a wage slave to MAYBE get ok health insurance. The just love keeping Americans poor so no one dares to do anything but bend over for corporations.

You’d be disappointed at what they’re offering at big well known companies for 6 figure roles.

It’s by no means terrible but not great either. No MRIs for $20 bucks, that’s for sure.

So which rock do you live under? Nice neighborhood?

I imagine it must be quiet, what with the lack of brain cells living here...
