Why Health Insurance Is Vital

[lydy]

From my insurance company statement, received yesterday:

Admission Service Date: 1/23/07 - 1/26/07
Total Charges: $9,086.73

As of 2/28/07
Medica Primary and Choice Payment: $8,886.73

Patient Balance: $200


Please note that while I didn't much appreciate all the services provided, say the three nurses and three psych assistants on duty 24/7, the price is not unreasonable. I don't even know what my monthly prescriptions would cost without insurance. Fifteen hundred dollars? Two thousand? I'm one of the reasons why your health care premiums are as high as they are. There is no way in the world that my premiums can cover even a tenth of what I cost.

Thank you.

Nicole's last admission over a year ago was close to 2o,ooo for almost 10 days,that was her 3rd admission.... her meds are very expensive and so far insurance covers it.

I'm surprised it was that low. One appointment with a doctor cost me $3,000, and then she referred me to a rheumy who cost an additional $3,500. No insurance.

Hope you're doing alright.
