American Healthcare Problem

Question

You know I was thinking. The insurance companies are largely worried about preserving their financial gains. How come doctors are never blamed? I recently went to get something out of my eye, it was a paint particle from the ceiling. My eye was hurting for 1 week. I tried flushing it out and it didn't work (weird). The doctor took it out after 1 hour of explaining to him that there was indeed something in my eye. Lucky enough for him, as I was moving my eye, the particle moved towards the iris and he quickly took it away. The ending is great, my eye is all better........but he asked my insurance for 350 dollars. Doesn't anybody see anything wrong with that?

Answer 1

Yes! I know a man who is always getting something in his eye due to the types of work he does. If he pays the Doctor in cash it costs him 75 dollars, if it goes through a insurance company, the Doctor has to cover the cost of the paper work, so up goes the price. Best of Luck
