I pay an arm and a leg for my Obamacare policy. But in November, it turns out I needed a quadruple bypass. I'm still alive and kicking and ythe bills are starting to come in now. I don't even know if they would have done the surgery if I didn't have insurance, I have heard there are some things that they make you pay for in advance if you don't have insurance. While I owe money here and there, I can't believe how much I don't owe and insurance didn't pay for. The surgeons's total bill was about 10k. Insurance paid some, I owed $35. The rest of the bills have been equally as absurd. Just Thank God I had ObamaCare!
