Yeah, just think how much they would have charged if he'd had both feet in the bed!

When Sharon and I were injured in a wreck a few years ago I got quite an education in our civil process and insurance. Even though we were broadsided and had witnesses that he ran the red light the insurance company refused to cover our medical bills that totaled over 150K. We got a very good lawyer ( not Mr. Bill ) and got it sorted out in about 6 months. The insurance bill was itemized at over 150k, you know what the hospital settled for? 8k. Now I know why our insurance and medical systems are so screwed up!

The $101K is for sawing off half my foot so @KayTwo I say get you a sawsall and get hot - there is money to be made there!! The interesting bill will be for the remaining 3 weeks with the as the Dr calls it “uber expensive antibiotics”. Guess I had good insurance cause it appears they have spared no expense OR because I threatened to sue everybody if they let me die

Well I got a goody in my mail - my little month long “vacation” in the hospital appears is going to be quite costly. I know I have been bitchin about the high insurance rates but now I will humbly shut the fuck up. I was in one hospital a week then in another 3. The first week was $101,000 - can’t wait to see what the other 3 totals. Without insurance that would sure cut into my mod fund. Everybody just stay healthy - a word from the just figured that out seats.
Sorry to hear Bill. I was in for a month and bills kept coming in for 6 months. Total was $500K before I stopped keeping track. @@

I’m with @thesabrerattler on this one - on $101k bill my copay was $893. You think Blue Cross cut a $100k check to the hospital??? I’d bet twice that not even half

Most the time it's like that. Reason why they charge as much as they do now. I did have 6 shots once that I believe were $25k/ shot. I asked them how much the insurance actually paid for them and they said something like $24k. They said wasn't much discount for those LOL. Asked the nurse if they made me worth more LOL.

LOL... Look up Mozobil. What a scam. On quick search, says it's $30K, but based on weight and I'm fat, so should have been a lot more. Especially as I needed 6 doses of it. That's F'd up. Sorry man, didn't mean to side track this. The gist of it is medical is a necessary evil, but you and I have had those conversations on the political board before I had to block that board.

Bill I know what you mean. Spent two weeks in hospital backnin October. Gallbladder removed, then pneumonia. Nice bill of $116K and that did not include the Dr flybys

I have a lot of friends up in Canada. I haven't had anyone tell me that they don't like the medical up there. It's got issues (which is stated), but there are ways around them. On Obama Care for a family of 4 (two adults, two kids), it was costing $24,000 a year for my family to have medical coverage 3 years ago. My wife ended up taking a full time job (Contractor to W2) just to get medical as the "mandatory" medical is just unaffordable. We have some really craptastic issues in our country that are just stupid issues to have. Sorry... don't mean to get on my soap box, but our something like 39th ranking in the world for medical and what the insurance has done to us and continue to do just gets me going... I'll shut up now.

It's all Bill's fault. He thought every time he hit to buzzer to see his nurses, that those calls were FREE

Hey @Bill Martin I imagine you may be a little unsteady on your feet for a bit. Maybe you should install a bar in your shower too

Hope you're doing well brother
