Big Katuna,
I haven't read this whole thread but want to respond to your comment about a CT scan costing $1000. I am 65 and am still on my wife's insurance. I recently had a MRI (which I believe is costlier than a CT scan) and total cost was $216. Now I had already paid my deductible which is $350 a year. My insurance is not ACA and I don't know if yours is but the $1k seems awfully high.
Both are a lot more expensive than $216. Several years ago I had an MRI and I had to pay my $500 deductible plus another 20 percent of the total cost for it - and that didn't cover the entire cost. This year, I had a CT scan done and the actual cost was over $1000 (fortunately, a $26,000 cost ER visit (paid $2750 with insurance) already covered my deductible so I didn't have to pay anything for the CT scan.
