Well, sorta sucks, but 2 runs are good!...

[quote]I learned, at least with Memorial Hermann, their in house imaging is a total scam and the doctors IN THE SAME BUILDING don't realize it. I had two identical ultrasound procedures done about 6 weeks apart, in the same calendar year. The first was $1100. The second was $1400. [/quote] Memor...

Anakeesta can be fun and I think might be good for little kids. Please watch the weather. They continue sending people up the mountain even when things are closed at the top due to weather. Should you get stuck in a storm at the top, it takes hours (3+) to be bussed down the one way road in one o...

[quote]Being overly cautious with your own children will meet no objection from me, but this Facebook mom kid snatching fear is less realistic than the Facebook mom being-murdered-and-on-Dateline fear.[/quote] And the craziest thing about people's paranoia is that the chances of these kinds of cr...

[quote]Exactly. The kids thing makes no sense to me. Bring them to the cart corral the exact same way you brought them across the parking lot into the store and then throughout the store and then back to the lot.[/quote] I agree. I'm so over the parking for people with kids as well. Mostly you ...

Saturday Night Fever. Saw it in the theater when I was probably 16. At the time I thought it was about partying, having a good time, and being cool. Tony was the coolest of cool guys. I watched it probably 20+ years later and was like...Holy Shit! I had no clue what this movie was about. ...

[quote]- she can't pick it up - I tell her to get out of the way, I'll "walk" it to where I want it by moving one end at the time - I assume she heard/understood me - she attempts to be strong independent woman and still attempting to pick up the other end - I carry my end around and its heavy a...

[quote]I worked in Access and/or accounting for 2 large hospitals for 17 years. Payment plans are certainly always an option, but not at a discount. You're offered a discount if you can pay in full either day of or within X amount of days after your visit. But I've never heard of payment plans...

[quote]Pre-Obamacare our individual family plan from BC/BS was $400/month with a reasonable deductible. Post-Obamacare, the exact same plan was $2000/month with increased deductible and less coverage. [/quote] Don't you know the gov't said that old plan was substandard? It didn't cover all kin...

[quote]but the hospital will use a 3rd party contract anesthesiologist and MRI technician, neither of which are covered by your insurance, so you take the hit. [/quote] The hospital doesn't do the physician's billing. They have no clue what ins they are contracted with. ...

[quote]That's kinda their job. Scoop up as many clients as they can to get greater bargaining power, then pay out at little as possible is the entire business. Health insurance companies make insane profits, then spend them lobbying to keep the system in place.[/quote] 100%! There are certain...

[quote]See how much they charged your insurance company, and how much they reduced that bill from the insurance company. [/quote] They didn't reduce the bill out of the goodness of their hearts. In order to have the business of those patients, the insurance company required them to have a contra...

[quote]Gross yeah, but still absolutely absurd[/quote] Gross charges are meaningless. People get so bent out of shape seeing them. Nobody is paying $10 for an aspirin. ...

[quote]Totally fricking criminal how hospitals and insurance are in cahoots[/quote] You can be mad at hospitals, but they most definitely are not in cahoots with insurance companies. The reason the hospital is trying to collect whatever they can is because there are a lot of insurance companies t...

[quote]Still better than having the govt in charge of your healthcare[/quote] Herein lies the problem. I truly believe that all these other countries actually get better health and wellness care than we do here in the US. We have great hospitals if you're really sick. Our current system is tru...
