Two years ago I had a stent put in. I was in the intensive care for two days after. The bill was 83 grand. Lucky enough that my wife had ins thru her place of work. I cant get ins on my own now because of this.
I dont konw what is the way to go. Certainly, they have to get after the lawyers first, then the insurance co second. Then if the medical com dont drop their prices get after them also.
I personally know of folks who are real sick and dont go because they would have to file for bankruptcy if they did go. The people of this whole country are living on the very edge in economic ways.
