Yeah, so, today we got the hospital bill for my son’s stay in the hospital.  Needless to say, I hope the insurance company developers didn’t ship the client applications with any bugs, cause I can’t afford the bill.

For the hospital stay, just the stay: $800,591.45

This does not include his surgeries, xrays, the birth, heart ultrasounds, head ultrasounds etc.  That’s just for staying in the NICU for 40 days.  Tack on another $50 – 75,000 for those.

I have good insurance though.  I’m supposedly supposed to have max out-of-pocket yearly family expense of $2000.00.  So, we’ll see what happens.

Here’s hoping that the insurance company software developers are better at their jobs than I am at mine, cause I can’t afford their mistakes.  Insurance companies can be some severe bastards sometimes though, so I’m expecting a drawn out, knock down fight over a lot of this.
