So I know a few pages back you were talking about a hospital of your choice but thought it would be too expensive. I vaguely remember looking at the medicare guidlelines and there is a limit of around $1000 deductible you pay for hospital then it is covered and yes given the price of hospitals you would pay that the first day but that's pretty much all you pay even if you stay longer and yes there is a limit to the number of days over your lifetime but in order for that to be meaningful you actually have to have a long lifetime. If you need the hospital go in...don't even think twice about the cost etc. you can't put a $ value on your life or someone else's.
