    I went to an annual check up a month ago. Got my abdomen and throat pushed on for lumps, got a flu shot, got a prescription for ADHD meds (just the paper), got a blood test for cholesterol (cheapest part of the itemized invoice). Total without insurance was $523 for less that a 10min stay, with insurance it was $10. New insurance (Blue Cross) denied paying for my meds even though I’ve been taking them since middle school. Our country is garbage because we care about investors above all else.

      Had to go for a lung function test recently at the hospital - blew air into a tube for 5 minutes and the bill was $1,600 after insurance 😭
