Life Doctors WTF? - Page 5

My son broke his foot last month playing football. We just started seeing some of the bills for this. One of them in particular was the bill for the orthopedic surgeon who DID NOT perform a surgery. This bill lists $58.75 for the office visit and $1695 for a surgery that was never done. They never invaded his skin. Not even for shot. All he did was look at his foot take an xray and put a walking boot on. WTF!!!???

Since you have insurance (and most of the working Americans do) partially your insurance and then your out of pocket pays for their services. The system has so many issues. Reform needs to be done on so many levels, but I am not a fan at all of this OBamacare. A lot of these people are getting their medical services already for free, thus someone ends up screwed paying the bill.

I don't have health insurance and won't until I start my law enforcement career next year. I am currently paying a medical bill from last year. I dont care how nice it'd be to stop paying it, I won't stop till it's finished. I don't need that on my credit. It sucks that people don't pay them and make the uninsured pick up the bill.

Hopefully, the uninsured like you completely outweigh the uninsured that don't pay their bills.

I don't think we will be letting him play football anymore though. He barely got any playing time this year and when he finally did, this happens. Gonna screw up christmas pretty good for everyone.

Even if we do outweigh them, I doubt they'd fix that uninsured issue.

Doesn't the prgram offer some insurance? If not, you might want to ask.. I have a son who's done Football, baseball, and wrestling, and all without an ACL in his right knee. Heck, he's a scout to boot... We're very lucky that we have insurance, but we've always had policies offered through the programs too. I know it's a tough decision, but I'd hate to ever have to pull the plug on any kid's opportunity to play sports. If there's nothing offered, then you don't have a lot of choice, but at least ask if you can.

but, but, we have the best health care in da vurld!

Had same thing last year w/my son. Broken finger and they wanted to send us to 3 different specialists - all w/their hands out. Don't even get me started on our health care system. Friggin ridiculous.

No extra medical programs at his school. You are on your own. He also does swimming, tennis and track. It's not like he doesn't have other things to do.

These are the prices you get when you surrender your country to a "nanny state" and now the insurance cos. doctors and hospitals must make up for all "deadbeat Marxists and illegals that expect something for nothing and this will only get worse

Benjamin Franklin had it right when he said that "when a society allows the poor to be comfortable being poor then you will lose your country soon thereafter. Paraphrase of course.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight so much so they lost count on how many illegimate kids he fathered. Sad to say but his sexual extracuricular activities were far from honorable unlike his commitment to freedom and liberty unless of course you say he took freedom and liberty to a new level sexually?
