Apologies my phone quoted the wrong message.
This is the one where I was saying too bad and get over it because you voted for it referring to your 14k bill.

While the hospital expected me to pay $14,338, they only expected State Farm to pay $4198.37. The math works out to a $10,200 discount for State Farm but they wanted me to pay the full amount. State Farm only paid $3,056 and the hospital still wants $1,082 from me. My lawyer is going to try and negotiate that down farther but what ever they settle on will come out of the settlement.
Bottom line is the HC in this country is FUBAR. $14k? If I did not have insurance they would be sucking on that bill for a long time. No way in hell I would pay it.
I despise this entire process.
To add insult to injury, this hospital is a "faith based" corporation. I guess their god wants them to phk over their patients. Gotta love it.
