Cost of Healtcare
Was asking around before and not many people knows about the cost of visiting a doctor around here. The problem is that most people are still on the traditional coverage where the cost structure are not transparent to the patient. After doing a bit more homework, I found (via some healthcare provider website) that the cost of seeing a doctor typically cost between $50-$90 for a "mid-level" diagnostic or $60-120 for the "high level" ones - that is in the Seattle area (don't think it includes tax). But also found that they seem to charge more (150-20%) if you are new to the physician. So my previous guess about the cost was quite realistic.
The coverage of the in-network system for the HRA seems to be pretty good for both doctors and hospitals. Looks like there is nothing to hold me back from taking on this plan.

...apparently you haven't read the HRA horror stories. but then that's more likely to happen if you're older and need regular medications, doctor visits etc.

They seem to have a cap on the out-of-pocket limit per year and it seems pretty reasonable too. Not sure what the catch will be?
