    When she underwent allergy skin-patch testing, the bill came to over $48,000 — or $399 per allergen. The average charge physicians submitted to Medicare in 2016? Roughly $16 per allergen.https://n.pr/2qgP7gZ

        When i was in the hospital, the bill to the insurance said $10 for tylenol - I had been given a single pill. You can imagine the total. The system is so very messed up.

        We need transparency in healthcare pricing. Where else do we buy a service then find out how much it costs later? Ridiculous.

        1992: "Canadians are coming across the border to use our healthcare", fellow LIRR passenger quoting GHB soundbite. "Going from where they are fully insured at zero out-of-pocket expense, to somewhere they are completely uninsured? How does that even begin to make sense?" Stevie.

        Passenger spluttered response: "Well our healthcare is better!" My riposte; "No, it isn't." Her: "How would *you* know?" Me: "I have family in Canada who've made extensive use of their HC system." Her: "We have better surgeons!" Me: "In some areas. In others, Canadians win."

        Her: "There are waiting lists!" Me: " Here too. Allow me to tell of the eight month wait I endured when I had back surgery." Her: "I don't believe you." Me: "That's your privilege. But don't believe silly stories of migrating sick Canadians either, or you'll look foolish."

        She's part of the problem. Unless you are really I'll from allergies, this is an elective procedure and a waste of resources. Fyi, I get rashes and hives from almost everything.

        This is a clear example of our corrupt health insurance scam! In Cuba they would have given her a glass of water and sent her on her way. There are no allergens In Cuba says that state. Those are things the Yankees have. Now go back to work!
