How do I get cheap healthcare?

The real answer

The No Surprises Act reaches job-based plans, individual plans and federal-employee plans, for plan years from January 1, 2022; Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE have rules of their own. The protection covers an emergency at any ER, an out-of-network clinician at an in-network hospital or surgery center, and air ambulance.

Spot D: the public service announcement, after hours. The public good: reducing patient ER costs.

Announcer
The public good: reducing patient ER costs. It is simple: just go out of network.
The patient
OON.
The public
ooh, aah, OON!
The card
OOF.
Healthcare
(the windows go dark, floor by floor, but one)
Announcer
Your plan already covers the emergency, and the hospital is almost always in network. The doctor who sees you is your pick: ask for the out-of-network one, and the law prices your share on a ceiling. Sign nothing.

The fine print, in full

Standard Healthcare is a parody. No real company is depicted. Job-based, individual and federal-employee plans, for plan years from January 1, 2022; Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE have rules of their own. Air ambulance is covered; ground ambulance is outside the federal law. The No Surprises Act: in an emergency, at any ER, a hospital's or a freestanding one, in your network or not, your share is your in-network share, figured on the recognized amount, not on the doctor's bill (45 CFR 149.110). It counts toward your in-network deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. The doctor may not bill you the rest (45 CFR 149.410). After you are stabilized the protection runs through the visit until you sign a valid consent, and you don't have to.

JUST GO OUT OF NETWORK* *Job-based, individual and federal-employee plans. Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE have rules of their own.
