You are correct fine sire.

When I did not have insurance, a DR's visit cost me $65.00 cash. When I added insurance later, that same DR's visit now cost me literally no less than $120.00. That is a fairly sizable difference considering I was going in for the same stuff, like refills, and the price is dramatically more expensive.
