Going to the doctor was not expensive. I think you missed the whole point of my post. You should NOT NEED insurance just to go to the freakin' doctor.
You should ONLY need Catastrophic Insurance (in case you have a heart attack, a stroke, catch cancer, car wreck, etc.)
I think you may be in "overdramatic" mode today.  |
You don't need insurance to go the doctor. My kid broke her arm while I didn't have insurance and I was rather surprised at how little everything cost. It was $99 for an xray, $75 for an urgent care visit where they gave us a full cast, some physical therapy that cost $45 a session, then a final follow up at $75.
You need insurance for big ticket items. My mother passed out and cracked her head open and was taken to the ER. It cost $18k, most of which was covered by insurance.
The problem is most people don't carry this kind of insurance until after the fact.
