I have insurance through my work, but I had to switch to a high deductible plan of $800 to cut down on my monthly premiums. My husband and I are still paying over $300 a month. Not only that, but we still have to pay 40% of all costs after our deductible is met.
One day at work, I started to feel really sick so I headed over to the emergency room. I had some lab work done and I was sent home and told I would be just fine.
When I got the bill I was shocked. I was charged $1,200 for my short visit. I thought that was far too much money and I wished I hadn’t gone to the emergency room at all.
People should be able to get the care they need, when they need it without the fear of what it will cost them.
