Yes, because all the other businesses in the world have a habit of just changing their mind against their own interests. ::) Any system were "oversight" = "myself" is generally always rubbish (politics, enron, etc...). :dunno

That happened to us a few years ago. Younger son got the flu but ended up losing like 30% of his bodyweight (he was only 20 something pounds to start) so he had to stay for IV fluids for a few days... whack, took us two years to pay it off. And that's with decent insurance.
Luckily, most medical providers will be startlingly flexible with people willing to pay. You can go as low as $50/month on that so long as you actually make the payments. They're usually very grateful when someone doesn't flake on them entirely.

What REALLY sucks about is that I had already met my in-network deductible for the year AND my break-point. Out-of-network has a completely different deductible to meet. :cheers:
And yes, the doctor was at an in-network hospital, and originally the insurance company quoted the doctors office as being in network. I got hit with the big bill when I complained about paying 10%, which I shouldn't have due to meeting my break-point. Yesterday was a fun morning, let me tell you.
ChadTower:
If they actually quoted it as in network to you, then changed their mind, that's a case I'd consider bringing to an attorney. Probably not worth it for $1600, but if it were a higher figure, it could be worth doing.

I'm not quite sure of your meaning here, but I'll say this: two reasons those two I referenced are so big is that people have a hard time taking care of themselves, and our economic model is purely about wealth rather than the emotional development of society. (The reason they're problematic is because they inherently discourage emotional development.) The latter, though not impossible, is only incidentally possible through the current model.
