Surgical assistants showed up in force to complain to @TexasTDI about the new Texas surprise bills ban. Now we see why, they are out of network 37% of the time with $3500+ surprise bills!
Sigh.

@KFF This newest report looks at 2012-2017 for seven elective procedures, whereas KFF looked at 2017 for ER care plus in-network in-patient care care. Different results. KS looking a lot better in this latest analysis: https://t.co/pYxSUFo2Pb #ksleg

This should never happen. By eliminating insurance companies and implementing a universal healthcare system like #Medicare4all where every doctor is in the same network(there is only one) no patient will have to burdened by surprise bills.

Aside from the money you have to spend, this is one of the most frustrating things I've experienced about getting care in the US. Try your best to do everything "right" and you still get stuck with _another_ bill to pay. There's no way to budget for this.
