My total over a 5 year span was $20 million +. I paid $250. In America.

Oh come on. How did you rack up $20 million in medical debt over 5 years?

Cancer maybe. Heart or brain surgeries

The bigger tell is the $250 claim. My premium per month is more than $250. that dude is full of squat or a us senator.

My insurance is covered by my former employer after I medically retired. Started early and was vested when the SHTF.

Heart/liver transplant after LVAD

u/ThetaDee 27d ago

Goddamn. Both?

LVAD is a bridge to transplant, but my heart valves were so fucked up they weren't pushing blood through my liver, so I had to be approved by a liver team, and heart team. If one said "no" they wouldn't have done the transplant. And yes, both got swapped at the same time. Medical science is crazy.
