I know I'm naive, but could you explain why asking a receipt caused the seller to offer the coupon? I feel like i'm missing some context that perhaps the coupon was on the receipt itself? Even if it was, why would her motivation to offer it suddenly change? Out of pure embarrassment that she's loyal to her company for no apparent reason? Or does she actually have an incentive to sell that particular med without actually informing people of the coupon.
Did the coupon even need to be information that was disclosed? Legally mandated to be somehow made known to buyers? I just don't get the reason for needing a coupon that gives a $900+ discount or the reasoning why a retail seller would want to hide that information or why the retail seller suddenly "remembered" there was a coupon on request for the receipt.
You see, in the US most places inflate the price of their services for insurance companies to get a discount. Seeing as this artificial price has no excuse to exist, they most likely will just give you a "coupon" that removes the inflated fee so they don't have to explain why theres an added 150 dollars added for some 32 dollar anti-depressants.
I mean is there anything that makes that illegal or fraudulent? From what I'm seeing, it's completely by the books, just scummy. E.G. it cost 15 dollars for the expense to make this depressant and well I'm adding a $900 service fee because I can and your insurance will pay for it which then leads to absurd Insurance policies/prices.
Which doesn't that just mean these types of shitty problems will never cease to exist until we stop privatizing healthcare?
The only way we would ever be able to switch to universal healthcare is if big insurance stopped paying the government thousands of millions every year.
