We finally received all of the bills for Alexis' surgery. Even with 90% "coverage," we owe over $1,000. Keep in mind, this was a morning procedure, and then a one night stay in the hospital. Given that we have 90% "coverage," it would seem safe to assume that the insurance company is paying $9,000, but this isn't the case. Due to deals they strike with doctors and hospitals, they're only paying a little under $4,000. They should be assigning the 10% we owe after they get their discounts, but of course that's not how it works. Let's face it, corporations, especially the likes of the insurance companies are basically what's running this country these days. Anyone that thinks that "We the People" truly have a voice is deluding themselves.
Needless to say, this has put a serious dent in our finances, and since Rebecca still hasn't gotten her promotion, we may be forced to rethink a lot of things we have going on right now...which will only make life more difficult.
Let's just say that I'm not at all happy with insurance companies right now...
