I am not so much complaining about the costs as I am offering a warning to closely examine your plan. You may need to get supplemental insurance...I wish I thought of that a few months ago. My wife has been in the hospital since Dec 6th, and all of the little expenses that are not covered are adding up quickly. She is also getting special treatment that the insurance claims is not covered (we'll see about that!) so we are paying out of our pocket for that right now. the normal rate is over 4K a day, but we are getting a professional discount (wife's father teaches at this hospital) down to about $2500 a day. If we are lucky, she will be home in about a month. It is an unusual situation, and not something you might expect to happen to everyone, but some sort or catastrophic insurance coverage sure would have been good to have. Take some time and look into it for yourselves before something catastrophic happens to your family.
