Fascinating to hear about the cost. I applaud you for being able to figure out your EOB. Not the easiest thing to do! All kidding aside I am glad you got a great result. I do love hearing about the actual cost. It is so interesting. Who knows where the government gets their figures. As much as I love to dream about everyone having wonderful health care it will be a disaster if the government gets a firm hold of it. They already control too much of it i.e. Medicare/Medicaid programs/regulatory oversight. I had stage III breast cancer at the age of 40. What a kick in the butt. But you know what - nobody is guaranteed tomorrow and we all need to be kind to each other. I will never forget this - in the middle of my treatment I took my 3 kids who were young to one of those arcade game places to have a fun afternoon. As I sad there watching them play some games a nice lady asked me about the scarf on my head. I told her I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She said she was sorry and that her sister had it also. I didn't really want to know how it turned out because I was so terrified then but I asked her how her sister was doing. She looked at me and said she had passed away. My heart sank and I told her how sorry I was. She said that the cancer had not taken her but she had gotten in an auto accident on her way to a chemo treatment and died. Doesn't that just say it all? Who knows about anything? I love checking out the comments on this website even though I still am trying to figure the ins and outs of it. Thanks for your insight.
