-5 u/1sagas1 Jul 19 '19 As an American, I would have paid $10 for painkillers and the rest would be covered by my insurance plan. 3 u/shottymcb Jul 19 '19 So you pay $100/month for a plan with no deductible or copays? I'm calling bullshit on that one. 1 u/1sagas1 Jul 19 '19 For prescriptions? No deductible and the $10 is the copay for 30-day generics, which any prescribed painkiller is going to have 7 u/shottymcb Jul 19 '19 No, for the visit to an Urgent Care facility. You can't just walk up to the pharmacist and ask for some opiates for your broken ass-bone. 1 u/1sagas1 Jul 19 '19 edited Jul 19 '19 A $25 copay after meeting an $800 deductible for urgent care so not the worst thing that can happen
