Know What Health Care Actually Costs

Knowing what you spend on medical bills is a real eye opener and may teach you a thing or two about being more prudent with our health care system bursting at the seams.

Say you have four children and take them to see a doctor for the sniffles. You are not aware of the costs because your co-pay is so low it does not matter. But what if you found out it cost about a $100 a visit for the doctor to consult each child? What if you were only there for three minutes and the doctor said, “You have a cold – rest, drink plenty of fluids and come back in a week.”

You would have spent $400 for something you could have done at home without further taxing the health system, which is really there for serious illness, not the sniffles.
