I work for a major US hospital. My health insurance is $1200/month for my family- of which I pay about half. My spouse just had a tube of blood drawn, and we had to pay $132 OUT OF POCKET. Apparently, I need to meet an $8000 deductible before things like diagnostic testing is actually covered by my insurance.
