Wow. The total bill for my emergency appendectomy last month?
$US41,255 and change.
They knocked off $32,819 as “adjustments” which I guess means... theyknow what insurance will pay? My medical insurance paid $7,587 and I'm on the hook for $1,043 that I really don't have at the moment.
Our health care system is so completely fucked up. And this is the University of Louisville’s teaching hospital, a non-profit.
