In the spirit of my “Just Ask!” negotiations challenge, I requested an additional $300 discount for an upcoming medical procedure. In my email, I asked if they could reduce this procedure so that the total is a nice round number (i.e. $2,000 instead of $2,300). It felt so strange to haggle over medical procedures in the same tone I would use haggling over rug prices in a Turkish bazaar.
Ahh, the sorry state of our U.S. healthcare system…
