The thing about healthcare costs is that by having health insurance, it doesn’t matter as much how ridiculous Hospitals want to change
My surgery I had in November was pretty reasonable, $1200 for slashing my elbow open and putting my ulnar nerve back into the bone groove it was supposed to be in (it got displaced by me aggressively masterbating to the Human Centipede movie on repeat, at least that’s the story I gave friends sometimes). And the doctor repaired my carpal tunnel in my wrist by slashing open my hand in going in with a scope or something. That was $1100
So both being done on the same day + hospital fees was $3000ish. The anesthesia was like $2300ish. I had already paid 2k-3k towards my deductible earlier that year, so paying the rest of my deductible was only like $1k
But if the doctor wanted to charge $50,000 for each surgery I don’t give a shit. My deductible is still 4000. That’s why I am stressing the importance of having insurance and being in your network with your procedure
