[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1924548, member: 43436"] If it was a TRUE emergency, you wouldn't have been "sent home 6 hours later" (heck, around here that's the average wait time at the ER). In other words, you had the option of seeing a doctor or urgent care but you declined; since you choose an option that cost substantially more, you paid a higher price. [Unless you live in the middle of Montana or some other remote place where the ER is the only option -- at one point, TC was working to reduce fees to those individuals, but I never heard anything more about it. Not likely applicable to you anyway.] 20% is "hardly a crime" and far from "factual" given that most people pay a substantially higher co-pay to use the ER. Even if the company plan had continued, there would've been changes. UPS had long whined about ER abuse, including plenty of educational materials on UPSers as well as paying hundreds in thousands in wages at PCMs to discuss when to visit/when not to visit the ER. At the end of the day, you have a FREE health care plan that's better than 99% of the population's. That's far from comical. [/QUOTE]
