"COVID survivor receives $840,000 statement for treatment, with more on the way"
https://www.thedenverchannel.com…
"CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Robert Dennis spent weeks in the hospital, fighting and beating the coronavirus. He’s now back at home, working his way through recovery, but he’s not done with the virus entirely just yet. The high school teacher just received his first itemized statement for the cost of his care: $840,386.94."
The article says they have insurance to cover the costs, but damn!

- Fuck. Me.Continuity
- The particularly perverse thing is how padded out these costs are, simply to act as collateral in their dealings with insurance companiesNairn
- This apparently was only the first bill, total cost would be around 1.5 mil, imagine that!grafician
- and also if I remember correctly, seen on twitter someone posting a bill for $20-30k after getting a corona test...grafician
- We'll see this more and more. Thankfully they had insurance, but those that lost jobs won't.formed
- I pray this is a calling to all for the need of a national healthcare system.formed

- hey single payer! cost of medical gets decided with insurance comanpies and all you pay is the premium!!! Yay WWII policy that set this up.deathboy
- an example. the largest medical facility here setup a triage and converted "valet" parkign garage to center to the tune of under 20 milliondeathboy
- at peak they had less than 30 beds filled, not close to in building limits, cut pay for every surgeon and everyone. that cost is goign to be reflected intodeathboy
- every bill for awhile and gov subsidy. i mena they would have loved it for mroe people and it would have been great for there books, but nopedeathboy
