Total bill, not including the surgeon or anesthesia fee, was over $195,000. The operating room charge came down to about $200 a minute. I do have insurance so I suppose this is a "sticker" type bill and the eventual real charge will be much less. I do not doubt that medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in this country.

Bill was over $8,000. Insane. I told her that if I get sick, to just let me die. I don't want to strap her with medical bills forever. Sad state of affairs.<br />I do agree that a lot of this is due to non-insured folks over-using the system. I was in a Charlotte hospital emergency room 5 years ago. There were several women there with their kids. Kids had nothing more than a cold. They were there just because they did not want to buy some children's cold medicine at the drug store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387053284149226571.post-17584196244992279862012-09-06T15:07:41.615-04:002012-09-06T15:07:41.615-04:00Illegals clogging the system for starters forcing ...Illegals clogging the system for starters forcing the insured to pay for their free care. Followed by trial lawyers feeding off of our misery forcing untold expense for unnecessary diagnostic testing and delays in life saving treatments and medications.<br /><br />Obama and co-conspirator insurance buddies are just waiting to really stick it to us with their obamacare scam. Just one more layer of parasites skimming our precious resources. <br /><br />I can see it now. Federal health care loans modeled off the student loan program. The Marxists goal is to control you cradle to grave.<br /><br />EnjoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
