There was a period of a few years where I did not have insurance. I’m a pretty healthy person, so I figured the risk was acceptable. The few times I did need to go to the doctor, when I told them I did not have insurance and would be paying out of pocket, they adjusted the prices for me automatically.
I thought it was ridiculous, even then, but I wasn’t going to complain about getting a reasonable price, obviously.
Oh yeah, as someone that did the same thing it’s insane that you can actually just negotiate your own price and it doesn’t actually take much effort.
But if you already have insurance and it’s bad you will pay more. Anything to get more money for a middle position not doing anything other than scrape money from everyone for only themselves.
