  What’s particularly annoying about this shit is the human rabies vaccine should not be the expensive… Not by a fucking long shot. It’s not much different than the one used on animals and that one of incredibly cheap.

    If it was cheaper than people who needed it were willing to pay to not die, the manufacturers would be leaving money on the table. Which is maybe how they do things in Communist France, but this is the land of the free…

    I got a rabies vaccine once and it’s cost me $1080 in total.

    Insurance said they worked reimburse me, but they changed their mind step I submitted the paperwork to be reminded.

    Fuck United healthcare

      Just the vaccine series or the entire propylaxis after an encounter?

    The entire U.S. medical industry always smells off regarding their finances because it is off.

  I can’t read the article because I have an ad blocker, so I’ll assume this means she’s been crowned the new Ozzy, and being a rockstar will help her with the bills.

    I’ll need a credit card that’s got no limit, and a big black jet with a bedroom in it.

  Why didn’t she apply to medicaid? Would’ve been cheaper and wouldn’t have had to wait

    On Medicaid, you cannot have more than like $2,000 in assets, total. It’s much harder to qualify for than you think.
