so this corp (unnamed) sends nurses remotely every day to do a insulin shot for these patients and it takes like 5 hrs and the bill is like 100k lol to the insurance company but serio8usly the insurance company has this worked out so this is actually a good thing for them

i'm not inflating or exhaggerating this story

also sorry, if u cant give urself a shot, or ur family cant, or some secretary cant put insulin in a needle and give it, u should fucking definately die and the government is definately killing ppl because almost anyone could do this, a child could with 99.9% safety.
Yeah, isn’t an insulin shot a super skinny needle just into the belly fat? Painless, and the least risk of infections of all the types of shots (intramuscular, intravenous)

I dunno exactly why health care costs became so inflated. I assumed it was because insurances were only offering to pay a portion, so the health care provider just increased the price so that they would get more money from the portion being paid. From doing research, I’ve read there are federal limits on how much you can charge for just about every medical procedure, however. So, Medicaid can point to those and say “this is the most we will pay for this procedure”, and because it’s a federal limit, the healthcare provider will have to lower their price to it
