Your right Pat, and Gene was in the operating room 6 hours, as opposed to 3 or 4, so they gobbled alot up there, the Doctors bill was 8000.00, for Campbell and I haven't seem Gill's yet, the phone thing is outrageous. 675.00, glad I had my cell.
Glad we were covered, what about the ones who aren't, thats a big blow to them, how do they do it?? Gene said its 3.00 a minute when you use there phones...Ginger

My first bill was $l64,000.....the second $265,000...thats just the hospital! I had 90% coverage....but I also had a stipulation that i only had to pay $4000 out of pocket for a single year.......BUT the WORST thing i did and really i should start a new post on this...in my morphine stupor I was apparently calling anybody that would talk and really have no memory of any of it until i got a bill from the people that operate the hospital phones in the amount of $675.00!!!!!!!!!!!! OUCH...There was no way around that......they've got quite a racket going there! Pat

Its a trade off...one lost year for many gained years. The light is there.
