This is my second post of the evening so don't forget to read the one below as well.
I thought it would be nice to post this and see peoples reactions. As most of you know I am not really afraid from saying or doing most things. I wanted to show you all a bit of my medical billing information. It builds up fast and can be quite a stressful thing to deal with luckily I am smarter than the average bear and can guide my way around a system and find the grants to apply for. Don't forget to apply every time to a billing adjustment based upon your income from the hospital if you get billed from there. Legally they have to make you do it if you don't want to pay their suggested amount of billing.
Medical plan charges:
My out of pocket $5,731.00
Humana discounts $6,704.24
Humana plan payments $19,377.51
------------------------------------
Total charges $31,812.75
On a side note if you think that a universal health care system is a bad thing go talk to people without insurance because my bills are nothing compared to those in the same situation. The hospitals and doctors can also charge what ever they want to those people since they are not covered and in a plan and under that health care contract. Just ponder it a bit and put yourself in those shoes.

Health Insurance is my favorite topic of discussion these days. Explain to me how I can have awesome insurance from a retail company and now that I am working for an actual health insurance company, its worse than any other insurance I have ever had. I feel like I was almost better off on being on COBRA from my previous job.
Universal healthcare needs to happen. Its stupid that the only way you can get insurance from most companies is to work full time. Most insurance companies these days wont pick you up independently even if you just have allergies... which is probably over half of the US.
