Trauma Team Platinum
How the fuck can a bookstore evolve into a healthcare provider? Where the fuck are we living anyway? I need this to stop.
"Welcome to Costco, I love you."
While the US healthcare system is very broken, isn't this actually a good deal?
My Prime membership pays for itself about 8 times over because the one medication I have is so cheap through Prime vs insurance.
But it's a little worrying that the company famous for undercutting competitors to drive them out of the market is doing this with healthcare.
From what I could find out you still have to pay the office you use. This subscription doesn't actually cover the actual appointments.
I could be wrong, but that is what it seemed like to me.
Now they know what you buy, what you watch, what you listen, and what you ail from,

Another day older and deeper in debt
St Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store. "
The company store is slowly making its way back in vogue
Phony stark already spun up Tesla company towns, the elite want a return to feudalism and company stores are a key part of that
What a goddamn joke, fuck this planet can we be fucking exterminated already? Jesus christ
Don't worry, with all the pollution, war and climate change going around, we ain't staying on this planet for too much longer.
One medical is actually a pretty good service and it's fucked up that Amazon bought them

I miss when Goodreads had updates.

You clearly have never been to a hospital
Not the single payer healthcare we expected
First thing that came to mind and I see others are here are of the same mind with platinum trauma response.

So leaves me to wonder how far are we from the cyberware then?
I want the platinum Trauma Team package.
I am curious, does this monthly fee simply enable access to doctors that you then have to give additional money to? If so what is the out of pocket cost? Does it cover hospital stays? Does it cover medication? Or is all of that extra and out of pocket?
I’m only asking because I have insurance. And it is significantly more per month. And it basically covers nothing other than the invented prices of medical care hospitals charge.
A usual statement of benefits I get from my insurance is:
Hospital billed $20,303 for service but we (insurance) only accept a bill of $3798 for this service so we paid them $1000 for the service and you, (our beloved customer) only pay the difference so please pay the hospital $2798 for the blood test they mistakenly coded.
Does that happen with Amazon? Or are y’all paying $8/ month and 1) getting charged full cost at hospitals / clinics Or 2) just paying $8/month?
(In case it wasn’t obvious I’m in the US and no, I am not exaggeration on my example or being sarcastic, I am genuinely curious)
Looks like they still charge insurance for in-person visits but remote help is included.
