$231,602.85 yes, that is $231,602.85, the cost from the hospital for my recent heart device and surgery. Not the doctors or any of the peripheral professionals that get to weigh in---just the hospital.

To be sure---and this should make you feel better---Medicare did not pay $1,364.00---that was paid by my insurance

I'm almost embarrassed ----but I'll manage

This pushes me up close to being a million dollar man for this year
