I had a quadruple bypass 2 yrs ago, in hospital 1 week. Total bill was $425k.
Insurance company (Harvard Pilgrim), paid all but $1,000, I couldn't write my check out fast enough ! Now on 1 lifetime high colesterol med, just to keep that in check, but with my new insurance company (United Heath Care), I pay zero for that prescription. Blessed beyond my expectations!
Sorry, I hijacked thread but wanted to share medical costs etc....
