(28,705 posts)In 2014 I was in the hospital for a couple of weeks. I only had Medicare at the time, and the bills came pouring in.
I now have supplemental insurance at about $81 per month. Last year I had a total hip replacement and was hospitalized for about 5 days. Everything was covered. I expected to see some bills in my mailbox, but EVERYTHING was covered. What a wonderful relief that was.
I have other health issues, like metastatic breast cancer, if it weren't for Medicare and the supplemental insurance, well, I'd be dead by now for lack of funds. So, yup, it's pretty damn good.
So sorry to hear of your misfortunes from that freak fall. Good to hear you are mending well, though it sure wasn't easy. Besides being painful, I bet it was a scary time. No more freaky falls for you!
