My Mom went into the hospital for 3 weeks in March. We have Medicare for her and Humana for the supplemental. We paid way more than 6300 dollars for her 3 week stay overall. I say that 6 grand on a 50 dollar a month fee is not bad. Most people pay way more. I agree that people should have more ability to pick the insurance they want which is why we hate Obamacare, but the price on those 3 states is pretty inexpensive.

I wonder how many of these people will end up paying the deductible.

If they can't...will the taxpayer end up footing the bill?

Might I ask what plan she has?

It is not a good deal for the young and healthy who only need catastrophic insurance. Comparing them to you mother on Medicare with supplemental insurance is not valid.

A lot of providers though used to accept whatever the insurance paid. I went into the hospital back in the early 90’s....only 1 day but over $3K....quite a few providers between the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and there were one or two besides that.

But, I sent them the documentation from the insurance and they didn’t ask for more. A lot of people don’t know that.

Now, with Obamacare jerking the doctors around, and I fully expect them to do that, I don’t expect them to be quite so generous.
