In another example of how US healthcare is a scam.
I just paid: $1,212 (this was AFTER insurance. It would have been $2,710 before insurance) for sleep studies that confirmed what I already knew. I need a CPAP machine.
They want to sell me a CPAP machine for $758 (again, AFTER insurance). That's for the model "11". The model 10 goes on retail for $400 brand new. And I haven't even shopped around for a less expensive but still good model.
That's a total of almost $2,000 when I could have gone down to the corner CVS and bought a CPAP for $300 just to "try" and resell used (or return within 30 days for full refund).
Again... this is WITH insurance.
Fucking scams.
