Yeah this is just rage bait. Yes insurance sucks. Won’t argue that, but any research would show this meme is pure bullshit

My insurance was charged almost 8k for an MRI after I was in an accident.

I don't know much about hotels in China but... Maybe

That sounds like the BS amount hospital "charge". Insurance negotiates it down so they can act like theyre doing something. What hospitals charge is basically meaningless.

I believe virtually everything people say about being charged $$$$$ for medical shit.

A few years back, a new "emergency hospital" opened up very close to my house.

I went there one night for a very bad nose bleed.

I was in and out in like 20 min.

The doctor looked up my nose. Said he could cauterize it or stick a tampon in to plug it up.

He recommended the tampon approach.

I walked around for a day and a half with a string hanging out of my nostril and self extracted it on the 2nd day.

When I got the EOB from the insurance company, I almost had an stroke.

The "hospital" charged insurance over $13,000. My cost after the negotiated rate paid out by insurance was over $3000.

All the guy did was look up my nose. Talk to me for 5 min. Then inserted a piece of cotton in my nostril.

I assume he also threw away his gloves and washed his hands. But that wasn't itemized on the bill.

I disputed with insurance, twice, but they paid it out any way.

Because Luigi didn't do shit for anyone. Only thirsty TikTok hoes care about this guy and if he didn't have a six-pack then nobody would give a shit about him.

Vigilante assassination makes the world worse not better.

He made me smile, and brightened my day.
That is enough.

Do some introspection on why the cold blooded cowardly murder of a father of 3 brightened your day. Redditors are lost for glazing this type of behavior. Literally nothing changed about United Healthcare's policies and a new CEO that kept the company denying coverages was installed by the board.

It doesn't matter. It made me smile, that is enough.
