I got the bill for my latest encounter with the Medical Mafia. The initial numbers were well over $1,000 for labs and a 15 minute teleconference with the quack.
Since I havent paid out my deductible I ended paying $472 of that. And I have what is supposed to be *good* insurance.

And the numbers above dont count the huge monthly premium we pay. Unless one of us ends up in the hospital the costs of our premiums, deductibles and co-pays will far exceed the benefit.

I particularly like the comment that I am a robust gentleman with a full beard. Because that is so medically relevant.
Also: The 22 minutes counts the time spent answering questions from the nurse before the doctor arrived. Altogether sat on the phone for just a bit more than an hour. Spent less than 15 minutes with doctor.
