It costs me $300 per month. Then I have a $5000 deductible. Last month I had a colonoscopy - 1 day of starvation, one of unspeakable bathroom indignities and then the dubious pleasure of being probed and bloated until I could have exploded. On Wednesday I got the news that my insurance would not cover the procedure because it was routine - $673. Today I got the news that they also would not cover the physician's services (services???? I got a cookie and cranberry juice!). The total bill is ...drum roll please...$1300.
AND I STILL HAVE NOT MET MY DEDUCTIBLE!!!!!!!!!

#$@%!((*^%!$@#^#()!_w> Rant over until the mammogram bill arrives. The bone density only cost me $82.
AAAARGHHHHHH!
Wouldn't you think they would be glad to pay for prevetative maintenance?
