Talk about unsuspecting billing practices... My daughter had to have her tonsils and adnoids removed over five months!! ago, they were so swollen she almost couln't breathe. At the time of the surgery I was told that our co-pay would be $325 (and for the first time in our marriage we finally have some really good insurance) and I thought Yay! we are going to survive this one, and today I get another bill for $250 and I called and asked and that said "Oh, you just paid the doctor's bill you didn't pay the facility bill." And she had this attitude that boy, was I stupid for not having a medical billing degree... "And I said oh, well when do I get the bill from the janitor and each CRAPPY nurse involved, oh and how about the contractor who built the place and the water company...."
And this is FIVE MONTHS LATER mind you...

Not to mention they did the surgery in 45 minutes and tried to kick us out of there a half an hour later, and she wasn't even stable. I sent my husband out on an errand so I COULDN'T leave, then we get her home and she's throwing up and I'm panicking because didn't she just have surgery on her throat? Is this gonna get infected? Is this normal? And for this I get the honor of paying $600 dollars- WITH insurance!!!?

Bastards and #ssh*oles, every one of them!

I get low-income health care through my state-it's a program unique to oregon alone. It covers most things for free, but here's the kicker: I was low-income because I was a student. I've just graduated and now-PRESUMABLY-I'll be getting a good job. (We'll see). Anyway, if I start making even a little bit more, I lose the insurance, but of course won't be making enough for conventional coverage. I'll be in health coverage limbo. How low can you go?

Wow.I remember getting my tonsils out when I was four. I stayed there overnight and they gave me ice cream. Now they probably charge extra for the ice cream. Probably call it "temperature sensitive nutritional healing aid," or some such go-sa.
