I was thinking it should be cheaper than 25 bucks when I see the nurse and she barely looks at my throat, though I hadn't thought of that until your posts. It's just the cost for an 'office visit' I guess.
I honestly must take insurance for granted, I never thought about if it actually costs less.
And I certainly won't complain about my insurance: I've made good use of it. Then again, about 13 years ago I was paying the same premium for a 'family' plan (just me and my husband) as the guy whose wife was on baby number 10. I guess it all comes out in the wash, usually, eventually.
(Which makes me wonder what my options will be if I am soonly unemployed!) Dammit.
