I bought cheap envelopes for my wedding invitations and my fiancé died from the glue after licking too many.

It was a huge relief.

All you have to do is ask your doctor for the doctor's order (1 pager on what imaging they want,) and text or email it to Green. They'll ask for your location and preferred scheduling. Pay Green, they send you a voucher you print. Show up, get scanned. Done.

This is the kind of info that every doctor should know and recommend to their patients but they don't/won't because for the most part they don't give a damn. I had a doctor order a CT scan a few years ago and I had to jump through hoops to go somewhere else that he didn't refer me too. When I told him I wanted to shop around and look for a better price he looked at me like I was crazy. He said "doesn't your insurance cover it?" Well, not that it matters but they cover 80% after I meet my $5k deductible so no, Dr. Dumbass, they really don't cover it.

I loathe the healthcare system. Most doctors are greedy assholes who really don't care about health. Overall there's very little care in healthcare.

Before I was married with a family, I worked a job that offered medical insurance, but not vision or dental. I was fine with it because I had had a single cavity and 20/20 vision for my entire life prior.

Well, I broke a tooth on a piece of hard candy one day. Didn't hurt, so I didnt think anything about it. A couple months later, the tooth beside it broke. I went to the dentist expecting to pay a few hundred out of pocket. He informed me that it was infected and would need to capped or a root canal. Something like that. It was forever ago. He quoted me $2700. I told him there is no way I could afford that so let me take the antibiotics to get rid of the infection and I would go from there.

The antibiotics didnt work and the first "toothache" of my life made me wish I was dead. It was a week of hell. My mom had come to stay with me for a couple days before she went on a vacation and insisted that I go have the procedure done and she would pay for it. Normally, I would never allow for my Mother to pay for anything, but the pain was brutal. I ended up paying her back and thanking her for saving my life because I was seriously thinking of possibly ending it all because it hurt so damn bad.

Ironic as some of us here have made her sore and she’s also given us money.
