I called the hospital and got quoted 9k to get circumcised. Fuckers. So I went to the hardware store, made my own shit and did it myself for < $100. Do not fuck around with capitalist schmucks. DIY.

yeah, that's not because of capitalism, it's because of an oligarchical system intentionally obscuring information.

Hospitals charge 10x what they need to because they actually only get paid 1/4th of what the official charge is by insurance, and have to spend a ton of money jumping through hoops and on lawyers to get it, plus people sue doctors at the drop of a hat because they're forced to do care based on insurance company standards instead of medical ethics.

study in SoCal found up to a 96% discount if you negotiated with billing and paid cash upfront, but a lot of hospitals are assholes about it.

Although they kind of have to be, otherwise insurance companies screw them.

But yeah, probably should be more like $700, mostly to cover complications, follow up visit, antibiotic prescription etc, and your share of the hospital costs and uninsured people they have to treat by law.

edit: just looked it up, cost for uninsured patient should be $800-3000. abt 300-500 less if you go to a doctor's office instead of a hospital, and on the low end if you use a local anesthetic instead of general.

So yeah, you got the official chargemaster opening bid price that they ask insurance companies for, not the actual amount they expect to get and you can if you offer cash and shop around.

and insurance needs money b/c of 500+Ib. CHF Pts who need invasive surgeries every week. America is a shithole, medical costs are usually intrinsic.

And also your $700 dollar estimate for a medical procedure is laughable.

If you'd called a Rabbi he'd have been just as experienced as the hospital, and would have charged you like, $50. Well, plus the tip, of course.

I'm guessing he had a bad case of phimosis or something.
A good goy would've taken a loan to pay for the whole thing.

You know what tip, Anon... Didn't you know they save those for poor children with birth defects? Say, if some child were born with no eyelids, they can use those to graft on, then the child will lead a normal life. Well, they'll always be a little cockeyed, but normal nonetheless.

It has no purpose outside of religious ceremony and rare cases of severe phimosis, which cannot even be diagnosed until age 17+. Assuming you're able to fully retract your foreskin by age 17, your dick won't be any cleaner or more resistant to disease by being circumcised.

... says the guy that just KNOWS sex would be better if he still had a foreskin... Go back to /b/ with this crap, we don't really care here.

You guys that have issues with modern circumcision should look up what Pacific Islanders (from at least New Zealand to Hawaii) used to do to their dicks, with no anaesthetic, many times using self surgery. Heh heh, happy Googling. "Penile subincision" should get you started.

for what purpose? Except as a treatment for phimosis there's literally no reason to circumcise.
