Lets hope you don't ever lose your job, because you might end up with less coverage than your typical which-doctor patient.


I racked up a nice $10,000 hospital bill about 8 years ago. I had to have emergency surgery with no Insurance. And wouldn't you know, they even did it knowing I had no Insurance. Then I talked to billing from the hospital and they even knocked off a couple thousand because they have funds from charity that helps people pay for their bill if they don't have Insurance. Since I was working at that time they rated how much was paid by how much I made that year.

I was working a lot of overtime then, I was able to pay it off without having a liberal/socialist pass a law that would take money from someone else to pay for it. Now that I'm making a pretty good living, I have given some money back to that hospital to put in the charity funds from where I had been helped from when I needed it. There are many things that could be done to help curve Healthcare cost, adding to the deficit even MORE and getting the Government involved IS NOT ONE OF THEM! Stop being so damn simple minded that Government Involvement is the only way. If you want a Government sticking a finger in your ass move to Canada!
