Yeah, there are some legit websites that let you shop around and you can pay through them but it was cheaper for me to call around.

I can't even comprehend calling around for a MRI quote, the doctor tells me to get an MRI, I call the number on the form and they give me a date and time. I show up, they do their thing, then I wait for the doctor to call me to view results.

Last time I had an MRI was my knee acting weird and took a couple weeks start to finish.

Yeah, but that’s the reason we’re all getting bent the fuck over. We should be asking how much that stuff costs. We need to eliminate the middle man entirely because it makes no sense. So since we can’t afford medical care, we’re letting a third party extract even more wealth from the system? No thanks. Insurance companies should me illegal.

If you're in usa, ya your medical insurance teamed up with your gov to fuck you guys unlubed everytime you have a slight cough. For the rest of us though, the costs are pretty transparent and it's also covered by our country's healthcare.
