For all the Medicare Advantage haters: [View all]

More than two weeks ago I rushed my spouse to the ER where he underwent a surgery for a twisted and perforated cecum.

Yesterday was moved to a rehab place but is still attached to a wound pump.

So far charges are $15K. Our share: $30 to visit Urgent Care at a clinic where we were told to go to the ER.

The amount does not include the hospital stay where our copay should be.. $250.
