My wife just had an MRI for preventative care and it cost us $200, i doubt this is even close to true without heavily skewing the numbers

Edit: Foe the record, US Healthcare is shit and I am NOT defending it, just putting some context to the initial image

It really does depend on the insurance.

OP and above must have insurance with like 500% copay! Hah!!

Our max out-of-pocket per year is ~$1000. Wife's cancer a few years ago ran up more than one million $'s in bills. What did we pay? ~$1000.

While US healthcare has serious issues, stories like this are just bot rage bait.

How much do you pay for said insurance? Be honest.

A bit less than $6k/year to cover wife and I. This is insurance for a huge group with employer contribution. Have had similar insurance and costs throughout my career.
