The Cost of Staying
I've been receiving some Explanation of Benefits statements from my insurance company showing the cost of my hospital stay, various tests, etc. I about died when I saw "Room and Board" costs for my eight day stay. Eight days in the hospital - not including all the tests and doctor visits - totaled $43,337.25. How insane is that? Healthcare in this country is so inflated.
Can't wait for the actual bills to start arriving. Like I've got an extra $5,00 or so to pay them. On that note, feel free to hit that PayPal button in the sidebar if you want. ;-)

You have insurance, don't you? There are plenty of people who don't, and that's the time to worry. I think you should be glad you survived the ordeal and be thankful for what you have instead of asking other people to take care of it for you.

I think my family going to be in debt for a loooong time.*lol*
But at lease, I still get to spend the holidays with both of my parents. They both lived thru really risky surgeries...
And I think thats worth that huge bill. :)
