"I was in there two days and it was $196,000." ] Just the hospital bills so far I expect. Doctors will bill next. $72,960 for the pacemaker I know. My 1 stent (I have a total of 5 in me now) and my ICD/PM cost $80,000 US. Good thing I have Health Insurance! My *unit* needs to be replaced about every 3 to 5 or is it 5 years, depending on how quickly the non-rechargeable battery wears down. My five stents were billed at something like $40,000. The whole deal, including four days total in two hospitals, was $220,000. However, my insurance company paid $48,000 and everybody was happy. More evidence of the scam. Why should insurance companies get a break? -- Regards, Curly That's a good question, and fixing that little atrocity should be the very first step in reforming the health care system. Amen, but your President and his men aren't doing (or even considering) that, are they? Nor did Shrub, etc. deep sigh -- Seen on a bumper sticker: STOP THE INVASION REOCCUPY MEXICO |
