Getting you fixed up was worth every penny and then some but not if
you kill some one and end up behind bars. I don't think you would
enjoy time in the slammer.

Today I learned that the reason I don’t owe 20% of $83K is that
the insurance companies make deals with the hospitals that mark
down the cost. So they say $83K and the insurance says “No, it is
$49K” Then they trim things here and there, so I pay 20% of $30K.
The hospital billing ladies have been really nice and they seem
amazed by it all, even as they are explaining it. I don’t know
who to kill.
Further strange. I was 6 days in ICU. The insurance company sent
me a letter that said I was pre-approved for 4. I got billed for 5.
Do I have to kill them all?

Similarly, when Sonja had surgery years ago, we got identical,
SEPERATE bills from both doctors in the medical practice her
surgeon practiced in. Never saw, met, or even knew who the other
doctors was.

My wife just had surgery and I have whats considered good
insurance and it still cost me $2800 out of pocket.
Last year leading up to the time my father died his bill for the
8 months prior was 1.8 million. He had really good insurance and
he didn't pay anything. There were doctors billing his insurance
that we never saw come or go.

I thought that the $30,000+ total cost for falling off the deck
was nuts, well today I actually spoke to the very nice hospital
billing office lady who corrected me. The actual total bill
before insurance was $83,362.67! That does not include the
doctor’s, radiology, ambulance, emergency room or oxygen bills.
Shirley said this is what it cost to put me back on my feet for
the next event, a deer?
