Does insurance even cover check ups? I've never had any, so I don't even know what they cover... (I never even went to the doctor back when I was on the parents unless I was forced to.

ER costs me $250, I think, total. Which is nice, because ER visit, a little local anesthetic and a couple stiches = $3k.
