  • I went to the urgent care (and was unfortunately referred to emergency care in the same building) for some chest pain a few weeks ago. Here’s some of my bill (luckily most should be covered by insurance, we’ll see if they give me trouble)

    • Blood draw/lab test: $446.63
    • Plasma test: $158.07
    • Chest x-ray: $664.66
    • “Emergency services” or in other words, the bill for getting transfered from urgent care to emergency: $3,987.00
    • ECG: $1,024.94

    All of that, just for them to tell me that I was fine and to just rest. $6,295.29 for an hour long visit. If I didn’t have insurance, I wouldn’t be able to afford that and would have just preferred whatever was going to happen to me.

    Meanwhile the fucking shitty human beings in Congress get free universal healthcare.
