WoW. Healthcare is a ripoff

[bennylong]

$605 just for a doctor visit to get a vaccine for hepatitis A & B and another $221 for the Hep A and B vaccine. How do these guys get away with this stuff?

Next time, I'm going to the hospital with a fake ID as an undocumented illegal alien and get myself some free healthcare.

And this is why people have insurance.

Insurance or no insurance it's still a rip-off.

That's why I love my Canadian health care plan. Doesn't cost me a dime.

..ask em how many "undocumented" walk in's to their EM clinic they had to service for free and you'll understand once and for all there's no free lunch. Somebody has to pay. In this case YOU paid.

My whole family had Hep. vaccines about 10 years ago.. the cost was over $30,000 for all of us, thankfully I live in Canada

1. high taxes
2. substandard doctors (no competition leads to fewer people striving to be a doctor)
3. ...
4. FTL

$30k???? Good god, how much per person?

Imagine if they ever found a vaccine for AIDS, only the rich would be able to afford the vaccine and all the people in Africa that need it wouldn't be able to pay for the AIDS vaccine.

Insurance is WORTH IT! Luckily we had PPO insurance. When my grandma had a heart attack and had to stay in the hospital a few days, the bill was $90,000. We only had to pay the $500 deductible...

Right.

 

[nageov3t]

what does any of this have to do with world of warcraft?

 

[Slew Foot]

I read that as a cost to you of $320, though the format is kinda hard to understand.

I came in here expecting a story about how the OP plays WoW as a full time occupation and was evaluating WoW health insurance options.
