Yeah this is just rage bait. Yes insurance sucks. Won’t argue that, but any research would show this meme is pure bullshit
97 u/just_having_giggles Aug 22 '26 My insurance was charged almost 8k for an MRI after I was in an accident. I don't know much about hotels in China but... Maybe 46 u/Frequent_Ad_9901 Aug 22 '26 That sounds like the BS amount hospital "charge". Insurance negotiates it down so they can act like theyre doing something. What hospitals charge is basically meaningless. 9 u/mjm65 Aug 22 '26 But there can be a huge difference between the negotiated price by the insurer, and the cash price for the same service. So you end up with insured people paying more just because they have to go through insurance.
