Notice, you're not complaining about employees using too many health services, you're complaining about you and your employees getting massively overcharged for the (let's be honest, relatively few) healthcare services they get.
My point is -- almost none of those things should have exorbitantly high prices, because they don't actually cost that much.
Do urgent care centers actually use an exorbitant amount of resources to provide health care services? They do not. Does getting any MRI actually consume thousands of dollars of resources, even counting labor? It does not.
To me, the main reason we still have not had meaningful healthcare reform in this country is that Americans have seen the made up numbers on those ridiculous works of fiction called "medical bills" and "statements of benefits" for long enough, that they think they are real. They are not.
- aksss 4y agoYep, I wasn't (intentionally) disagreeing with you, though if I were nit-picking, I'd say they're using too much of the wrong services - going to the emergency room for a tooth ache or some similarly minor reason would maybe get a second thought if they saw how much it cost. When I went for several years without any insurance (starting a business), I became far more discriminating on the services I was paying out of pocket for, and also opted not to go to the hospital for minor stuff I would have gone to when I had insurance.
