Yeah, it would be like if an actor I mildly like turned out to be a bad person. Jennifer Lawrence is a jerk? Bummer, I guess

I hadn't used my health insurance all year so I hadn't hit any out of pocket maximum. Then last month I broke my toe after being attacked by a marauding kitchen chair (can't trust those things) and so suddenly I'm getting about $1k in bills. And this is for a minor injury.

OMG! Yeah, billing is wild. And every place does it differently! The NYU health system sends you two bills, one for the doctor's time and one the doctor seeing you at their hospital (as opposed to what?)

And many places don't even give you a price if you ask! I read a great article where a reporter tried to find out how much a common procedure cost by calling around to various hospitals, and some refused to even quote a price. You get whatever secret deal they negotiated with your insurance company
