GREAT POST - Texas Teacher: "There's no WAY my family could come up with $5,500 if we ever got sick. So we bought the #healthinsurance plan that has a $3,000 deductible."
Me: "You do realize that you spent an extra $9,840 in premiums to do that?" Texas Teacher: Blink, blink.

IMPORTANT - I am not saying all hospitals are bad...BUT Hospitals know how to protect mothers. They just aren’t doing it. Every year thousands of women suffer life-altering injuries or die during childbirth b/c hospitals skip safety practices usat.ly/2Lu0tLl

He asked if insurance would pay for CT scan. The hospital said yes, then billed him $3,878 — 11 times the price of the same scan at an outpatient diagnostic facility — after his insurance policy's discount. Discount off of what? bit.ly/2MO0ki0

Everyone is talking about high drug prices…but what prices are they actually talking about? ere’s a look at Xarelto, a relatively recent drug used as a blood thinner that is only available as a brand (no generic versions), so the price is high. bit.ly/2wS4JgU
