Now I know

Yes, now I know how much my life is worth.  Or at least how much it cost to keep me alive.  Remember the aortic aneurysm and the stent?

I got a statement from the hospital today.

$247,749.  You read that right.  Two hundred forty-seven thousand, seven hundred forty-nine dollars. 

My co-pay?  $240. 

I'll never again complain about the cost of my medical insurance.

Wow . . . that is amazing! I just always think they pad the amounts so much realizing insurance companies will pay . . . driving insurance costs up and causing some not to be able to afford it . . . *sigh* Yes, I have a social democratic view on the subject. I can also see how those without insurance can lose everything if they do have an emergency such as yours. Your insurance is definitely well worth having!

Isn't insurance grand? ;o) (Okay, for the most part, yes.)

OK, I want to know what insurance you have so I can be sure Hubby and I get it when he gets out of the military!

Well... that's enough to give ME an acute myocardial infarction!

I'll never complain about the cost of medical insurance again, too. It's a good investment. I don't think my life savings could ever come up to $247,749 anyway.

Love the funky icons -- highly appropriate, that shocked face!

Love,
