I've gotten a medical bill when I was between insurers, all she did was put a stethoscope on my chest and I was billed 200 dollars for it, I threw it into the garbage.

Sure, my doctor's visits are a $25 co-pay, but I pay 80-90% of most lab work. And this is after my hundreds of dollars of monthly insurance premium.

My husband saw a doctor about a bump on his arm & she said, let's give it two weeks & see what happens. Two weeks later she referred him to a dermatologist but still charged him for an office visit. WTF? I complained to no avail.
