Btw I got septum surgery and turbinate reduction and it was life-changing. Previously used antihistamines and nasal steroids every day. Even when my nose produces mucus, its doesn’t clog now. Procedure cost me $100 through Kaiser (cost them probably $75k if you believe all the various documents they sent me).

No, that's the inflated list price that's only paid by people with an emergency while out of network or similar unfortunates -- not insurance companies.
