The USA is a dozen people standing in a fully stocked supermarket with one guy saying, “I guess there’s nothing left- we’ll have to kill and eat each other,” while the other 11 quietly grumble about it but don’t dare do anything that might appear threatening. Someone will be along to save them, surely.
It was a lot of tests, to be fair, and the funny thing is that it wasn’t all of it. There was another $130 charge for some other tests that they did end up covering - but not without appealing. It wasn’t a standard full panel blood test that I had to get at my age (48) due to family history. But regardless, my Dr ordered it and it’s goddamned covered.
Yeah, I have labs I’ve been putting off for like 6 months because I know it’s going to end up being like a $400-600 bill. They’re just standard labs, CMP, CBC, lft
The fuck it costs 1000 dollars to get some blood drawn? What the fuck is happening in America.

I just had my annual exam where they did a full blood panel, an EKG, urine panel and it didn’t cost me anything.
