Went to a doctor for my yearly checkup. $500 for the doctor visit and $700 for blood work.

My copay: $0, because yearly checkups are included in my insurance.

Holy shit. Why is this so expensive? The person that checked me in told me sometimes it's better not to have insurance because they give a flat 70% discount to those without insurance.

insurance is such a scam

My personal favorite is how home insurance doesn't cover you in the event of flood, fire, tornado, etc. What the hell is it for then? If your home just spontaneously falls down?

Home insurance certainly covers you for fire. But does not cover you for flood or other perils unless you add it or have a non-perils based policy.

I guess I meant forest fire. I know people who lost their home and it wasn't covered
