It would cost me $200 to see my doctor. His words. Oh, that is up front money and costs go from there. My last doctor appointment cost $20 last month. That was the total bill. Even my doctor said it is better to get a new doctor. I am not paying ten times more money. I’ll find a new one maybe. I might just forget it though. Just try and stay healthy.

I do need to buy a bracelet that states what insurance I have. I don’t want to lose all my hard work money. That would alert the ambulance driver to what hospital I am able to afford.

So much for UPMC being evil or breaking any laws.

UPMC wasn’t/isn’t doing anything wrong to lose non-profit status.
