This is why me and my team are opening a cash pay clinic here in Denver. Let’s just boycott insurance and get this whole thing over with. All we need for healthcare is a patient and their healthcare providers. No administrators. No insurance companies. Simple. The way it used to be. Honest and fair.
Obama’s “Affordable” Care Act made healthcare anything but affordable. It lined the pockets of insurance companies while driving costs through the roof for everyone else. Health insurance has become one of the biggest scams in America.
A family medicine doctor just blew the lid off medical pricing—proving that paying cash for basic procedures like an MRI costs only a fraction of what insurance companies charge.
The proof is right here:
• With insurance: $1,900 → Self-pay: $374
• With insurance: $1,250 → Self-pay: $433
• With insurance: $1,800 → Self-pay: $209
The difference between using insurance and paying out of pocket? In many cases, you actually save money by skipping insurance altogether. And your doctor doesn’t have to waste time battling red tape or begging for approval—only for you to be hit with a massive bill anyway.
Take a simple MRI of the spine. Insurance companies usually force patients to go through weeks of physical therapy, try medications, and make doctors jump through endless hoops with prior authorizations, precertifications, or even “peer-to-peer” calls—just to get approval. And when you finally get the green light, they’ll charge you $1,900 for a test that would’ve cost around $200 cash.
