    That’s entirely up the doctor. Most do not do that. They’ll charge you the full amount since they can get in hot water with insurance if they have two prices for insured and uninsured patients.

    Also what? Medical insurance is not federally regulated. You don’t need have insurance.

    Also get fucked if you have a chronic condition. Good luck getting expensive medication without insurance.

      You don’t need have insurance.

      Didn’t realize it ended way back in 2018, but yeah, originally the affordable care act did include such a requirement.
