I think what annoys me so much about doctors is that they charge you afterwards. If you knew what you were doing was gonna cost $500 you wouldn’t have chosen to do it. They know what your insurance is. They know what they charge. But they don’t tell you until afterwards.
I had a similar experience in the last year. They basically try to trick you into paying. They know exactly what they are doing too.
This one time a few years ago I literally went in for a check up (first time all year) to find I had a completely new doctor assigned to me. And I couldn’t even make this shit up if I tried. The new doctor was not in my network, they did not inform me during my visit, and he tried to get me to do shit (upcharge) that fortunately I outright refused the entire time we spoke.
When the bill came they tried to charge me out of network prices, and I basically fought them for six months saying that it was a surprise bill until they finally gave up. I don’t plan on ever going back to that office again in my life.

This shit is why I haven’t been to a doctor since high school.

If we all just stop paying the insurance, and instead just put $50/month towards the exorbitant medical bills, boom, universal healthcare
