Pretty Pricey!

I looked at my insurance member billing status yesterday and the hospital billed the insurance company $117,000 for the implant! YIKES! They won't get that much but it's no wonder insurance companies reject things. The surgeon billed them 6k and only got a little more than half. I'm in the wrong business. Building busses for $14 an hour. I might go to school to become a surgeon. Let's see, I'm 50 now, so between college, interneship and the like I could be ready to actually make some serious money by the time I'm 65, work a year then retire. NOT! Maybe in another life. I'm stuck relying on the Lotto for my retirement! CMON POWERBALL!
