Agreed, my neurologist can't even confidently tell me blood work absolutely required for my condition will be covered, much less the price.

It took years to find that almost every facility nearby does the tests he orders for no copay at all. But Beth-Israel doesn't see a problem with charging literally over a hundred dollars after insurance for a blood draw.

I guess a very big and very evil problem for another time, but our health care system is a house of cards.
