    “Health care accounts for about 8% of the average household’s annual spending — not as much as housing, transportation or food.

        Or 2 separate bills: one for physician services and one from the hospital/clinic. 14 to 21 days after services rendered. @Atul_Gawande see our paper on what it costs just to produce that bill here https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2673148?redirect=true …

        Clearly you don’t accidentally order pounds of truffles, prosciutto and cheese from the grocery delivery app (damn you, confusing quantities!)

        8%..your kidding...right? Is that what your statistics prof told you? Do you live in the real world? Ps...im not an outlier. Check your statistics textbook if you need that definition.

        Seriously? Where are you getting your 8%? Next year when my husband retires our family heath care premiums with be 23% of our fixed incomes...and that is not including co-pays and prescription costs. Y’all are in a bubble! Furious citizen.

        That's because of high deductible and ridiculously complicated plans where NO ONE I knows clearly what's covered, and what's not. What's applied to co-insurance, deductable etc. ACA failed. insurance companies won.
