Reply to "Personal example of why we need health care reform...."

WIP,
I did not mean to imply you would not understand the bill. I typed faster than I thought.

The amount out of pocket is better than the full bill. How much does your premiums cost in relation to the bill? My point was that even if we get some kind of healthcare reform, it won't change the status quo much. Add to that, we will pay taxes into it for 4 or 5 years BEFORE any one can get any benefits. If anything changes, it will be 5 years or so from now.


I had to do a similar wheel and deal that bookworm did.

Managed to get a $1300 physical therapy bill down to $850 by agreeing to pay it all at once. The hospitals are not as evil as they seem, its just the whole system is grossly overcharging for everything.

If Congress really wants to help, do tort reform, drop waiting times on pre-existing conditions and make insurance companies sell across state lines. BCBS has a strangle hold on Alabama that needs to be broken.
