For example, did you know that a root canal costs something like $3k out-of-pocket with insurance on average?
Yeah, I found that out the hard way. TIL, my dental plan - despite being riddled with deductions and copays - still has a $2000 cap on how much they'll pay in a year. So I'm still out triple digits for a procedure that's supposed to be the cheap, light-touch alternative to getting the whole tooth yanked and replaced with an implant.
One of the most common and completely medically necessary procedures one could have
Literally an entire profession dedicated just to doing root canals. Its a fucking specialty. Only in America does a specialized field of trade make the price go UP!
Going to find Milton Friedman's grave and shit on it.
