No problem...$200 is just the co-pay. I haven't received the bill for the IP and the partial yet. I know my insurance will cover some of it, but I have a feeling i will have an insurance fight on my hands because I went an extra day to partial beyond what insurance pays. I also think the co pay for IP is another $200 and the partial is another $200/week and I went two weeks and a day. So it's more like $800 if insurance decides to pay for it at all.

I for one would love to see a different health insurance system. Maybe I'll invent one while my energy lasts.

My son is OK now. It turns out he had heat exaustion on top of a viral infection brewing so he is still a bit sick, but not like yesterday when he couldn't walk. My husband had to carry him out of the house to the car and into the ER. Turns out that is the secret to avoiding hours of waiting before triage. Have someone carry you in.
