Smoke and Mirrors


-          Let’s do a C.T. scan
-          Ok.
-          All C.T.'s are scheduled for Wednesday
-          Ok.  How much do they cost?
-          840 dollars. Some insurance companies cover 100%, others 80%, and  others....
-          Ooooh, I knooow my insurance most definitely does not cover 100%.
-          We give you a 50% discount if you pay in full when you come in.
-          Oh that’s good, I’ll do that, is that after the insurance pays their  part?
-          No.

Riddle: how much does a C.T. scan really cost?
