Re: 40 million Americans
Coach, sounds like you paid "list price" or in the car world, they call it the "sticker price". Go back and negotiate with them. Insurance companies have deals with hospitals/doctors that usually insurance only pays about 25% of "list price" and the doc/hospital is happy. Try talking to them, what do you have to lose. It also helps if you dont pay it for a year, then come in and say "this is all I can pay". They will be happry to get it. My sister in law used to work in a medical accounting office, this is how I know.<br /><br />On the other hand, you can use the Regan medical plan (see above).<br /><br />Ken
