Bard's Hall, June 27, entry 6 - Insurance is a scam

You know, I've always known medical insurance was a scam. But I swear, how insanely big of a racket it is, definitely is eye opening.

For the torn ligament in my finger, I wear two, what they tetm, buddy bands, little velcro straps that keep my pinky and ring finger snug together. I think it's been about eight weeks now.

With the weather hitting 100 degrees lately, the bands get sweaty, and icky, and I hate them! Plus, they get stretched out as my fingers shrink from the swelling going down.

Imagine my surprise when the bill arrives for two bands, to the tune of $80 .The fact that my insurance covered half of that boggles my damn mind.

I needed extras and bought six of them off Amazon for less than $7. Someone seriously needs to tell me why I need to fork over another $40 dollars to cover those disgusting mark up.

It is absolutely ridiculous.

Writing this on my phone just reminded me that I have to call my insurance for a bill, for an office and Doctor that I've never been to.

This ought to be a fun conversation!
