Okay, I understand now why Medical Vacations are a booming industry.
Thank you for clearing that up. I mean, silly me looking at saving $10K on a $25K medical procedure. I am so totally messed up.
And the Medicaid thing - uh, what about the other 100 million people that don't qualify for Medicaid - they make too much but can't afford the $25K medical procedure I just had, that insurance won't cover.
Oh, and to clarify for me, I could afford a couple $500 round-trip tickets to Ecuador (2019), so I should be able to afford a $25K medical procedure and not bother saving $10K in the process.
Would you please clarify that for me? I missed it when I made my decision - I thought I was saving 40% on the cost of the procedure while getting paid for vacation to an exotic foreign country. Is it unAmerican to save 40% on a $25K medical procedure?
I KNEW this thread would end up here. If it continues, I will just end the discussion. It is sad we can't even discuss this topic. I have had several members ask for information privately, it seems I am not the only one that likes to save money.
