well, the $20K is right, unless ICU then it’s doubled. But I have no clue where to look to get the total hospitalized in the past three months.

My main concern is insurers refusing to pay after a certain date.

The "cost" amount depends on whether they are counting gross billed amounts, or reimbursed amounts actually deposited in the bank.

Hospital pricing has a wide range, and an unsophisticated reporter will most likely quote whatever number is provided. Medical care costs are as bad as government spending - if the people in charge were subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, most politicians would be in jail right now.

If you dig deep enough you can see the data on just about everything here Jan to Marc/April were far worse for Covid hospitalizations then now.

For some context here is the data for the Flu. But the Flu no big deal while Covid supposedly requires us to totally restrict the US Civil Liberties and restructure our economy?
