Goooooooood afternoon INGO!!!

Before the CZ I was shooting a Remington 541 T, thinking about selling the remy.

Looks like all the Enfield mags I'm finding online are "out of stock".

Maybe I need to start a thread.

Holy mother of Jello, I received the hospital/Surgeon bill for my total disk replacement surgery today. Anyone want to take a guess???? It was twice my my guess beforehand was.....

 

[SEIndSAM]

You could buy a very nice new Caddy for this amount....

35 cents?

35 cents?

That might buy a Cadbury Cream Egg.......

I need to figure out dinner. My Stepson has some friends up in the Dayton, OH area (that's where my wife lived when I met her) and they all went up there. Going to be cooking just for one tonight.....
They were going to stop and get sushi, count me out.....

Yes it was!

Very close, almost $69K.....Good thing I have very good health insurance now. If this had happened with my old job I would be in a serious world of hurt.

That was my reaction.... I was expecting $30K for the surgery, overnight at hospital, etc.....

It didn't work.
Should get a refund.

Only partially worked, part 2 is coming up. Damn, my insurance company is going to love me.....

it's nuts now. It takes a certain amount of $$$$$$$$$ to run a hospital. Medicare don't pay :****:, insurance is slow to pay. That is why the prices are so high. If you had offered to pay cash, the bill would have been 50% less.

Yeah. BlueCross/BlueShield has already paid them, that was really quick in todays environment. The last time I was in the hospital was 2008 and it took nearly a year to get the insurance company to pay them....

 

[chocktaw2]

That is crazy Sam. Up here, some Amish pay cash, and get a really nice discount.

I know several people mad at the ACA, because they built up a savings account for medical expenses and just had insurance for catastrophic health issues. Saved them lots of money.
