Notes -
I truly don’t understand the moralizing, there is no universe where having an in network hospital with an out of network doctor is anything other than an attempt to obfuscate in an attempt to extract a higher price. Also I am surprised that you believe that complaining to congress about exorbitant healthcare costs is anything but a waste of time, the last 30 years of history would seem to contradict you on this.
Upon reflection it’s stunning that americas credit reporting agencies apparently consider healthcare to be so predatory that they don’t think medical debt is predictive of someone’s willingness to repay other kinds of consumer debt.
It doesn’t sound like anybody is trying to raise prices for you. It sounds like there’s inscrutable bureaucratic reasons for the bill getting passed on to you and not the insurer.
Yes, this is frustrating, but if you couldn’t pay a $350 bill you should have picked a different plan.
