You will never regret getting health insurance even if you never have a health issue. As you said, you can not know when to expect the unexpected.

It is quite scary, and I hope I can even get private insurance again after my 2 issues. Thanks for the comment MITBeta….

@david: “It’s a shame we even have to worry about coverage, but the fact is that our govt has no interest in making sure the citizens are healthy. It’s quite an embarrassment compared to the rest of the world.”

Having just seen Sicko, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. What scares me is that I have insurance, but still have to worry about whether it will cover any calamity that may befall us… like the woman in the film who was denied cancer treatment because she was “too young to have that kind of cancer…”

Haven’t seen what the fees are yet, but since I have spent almost $5K of my own money on medical bills since November, I am hoping that most of the stuff they needed to do will be covered as my deduct. has been met.

Had a couple moles removed a few months ago. Both cancer free, but one had the “potential to develop into cancer.” While that was good news, one of the incisions, which was almost two inches long, opened up and became infected. Had to incur extra costs to fix it and now am left with a gaping scar on my back. I am having the charges reviewed to see if I can be compensated for my troubles. Have you negotiated any of your fees? I have heard many successfully have.

Hope this is a one-time event for you!

tiffanie, wow, that is quite a story. It’s a shame we even have to worry about coverage, but the fact is that our govt has no interest in making sure the citizens are healthy. It’s quite an embarrassment compared to the rest of the world. Hope you are able to maintain your condition with medicine!
