13135233, i have a PPO that has very little cost sharing

i pay $0 to go to the ER. urgent care and specialists are $20 and my PCP is $15.

i get blood work and MRI's done and pay nothing out of pocket.

so there's not much incentive for me to care about how much those bills are. my narrow view is that i either pay nothing or not much.

that's not cool and it's not sustainable. there is no other financial transaction i enter into where i don't care about the costs.

i used to go see this dermatologist twice a week to get light treatments. the doc was cool and told me there wasn't a copay each time i came in. i'd just show up twice a week and be in and out in a few minutes. one day i looked at the EOB and he was billing my insurance company like $160 for each treatment. it didn't matter to me because i didn't pay anything.

it shouldnt really work like that...
