Damn that’s gotta be an insane medical bill


And her health insurance (if she has any) will NOT cover it.

Personal bankruptcy is her option.

On April 3, she was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with ischemic colitis, also known as dead gut, caused by reduced blood flow to her large intestine from COVID-19.


I'm calling bullshite on that part. Hope she enjoys that bill that comes to her house.

With a 200 day hospital bill I would either begin paying $100 a month or just throw it in the garbage as soon as it arrived.

Well I imagine she recovered from covid in the first week or two. The rest was being hospitalized for other complications

What they probably don't want to tell in this article is that she most probably had an underlying gastrointestinal issue(s). These articles don't always tell the whole story.


If she did have an underlying gastrointestinal issue, would it not still be a remarkable story that she recovered after 200 days in the hospital?

That's dumb. Health insurance pays almost all of it.

ETA - She's 67. She definitely has insurance. She's covered by Medicare.

Good thing she caught the virus or they wouldn't have let her in and she'd have died of dead gut at home.

Too bad we don’t have a better insurance system. One where the conservative fatcats aren’t milking poor middle class citizens all the while pissing down their backs and telling them it’s raining.

$3.50 or $35.00 or $350 or $3500 or $35000.

He was in the hospital 41 days, so it's clearly $35000 a dose and he was getting two doses a day once they figured out the antibiotics weren't working.

A lot of those policies have event, yearly, or lifetime maximum payouts. It's not out of the question that this poor sumbitch is about to get fricked by the fine print.

ETA: Before someone jumps my shite, to clarify: GRANDFATHERED policies can still carry the limits. New policies are forbidden to have payout limits, per Obamacare.

She's on Medicare. She won't pay much of anything.

Also, Medicare has no lifetime limits, which is part of the reason that it can never be extended to everyone.
