New York Daily News 12 Aug. 2013,,,,,,,,,,,A young woman whose insurance had recently lapsed was treated for a copperhead bite in a Bethesda MD hospital- then presented with a bill for $54,819.00. :eek: :eek: :eek: ...Anything criminal going on with heath care in this country???

Sounds like a profitable side job for you Gene-start milking em :D . The gal in the story I read received three doses of anti venom over a 18 hour period- so the bill seemed a bit excessive to me. She was bitten low on her foot and that indicates she was not wearing shoes- maybe sandals. We do not have copperheads out west but we do have rattler's. A lady friend had both her dogs bitten on the same day. Anti venom was $500 per pooch but that was almost ten years ago.
 
Here snak'e,snak'e :lol:

Did a quick google and the antivenom is CroFab for pit vipers (cottonmouth,copperhead and rattlers)

Sales wholesale 750 per vial average.

Go to the Blue Cross Blue Shield web site and get a quote from there. They were and still are the cheapest in Illinois. They also have temporary insurance that will go for as long as 6 months, but you have to pay for the temp insurance up front. I had Blue Cross for over 4 years after I retired and started my own business, went with a high $5000.00 deductable, I have no major health issuses, last year the payments were $400.00 plus per month.

Good luck with your search.

There's no way I could afford 400 a month.
 
Has anyone gone on the 50/50 plan from Kaiser, it really sucks the life right out of the pocket book. Company went to this man it really sucks, to have another child costs like 1,500.00 just to get in the door. Can't wait for the Obama plan that will be as effective as stopping pollution. I feel sorry for the last of the baby boomers, we are all screwed we just have been hiding in the closet waiting for this to blow over. Can't wait until the day companies don't even offer health insurance or any benefits, I believe this is coming very soon. Sell everything and move to Brazil or Mexico and live like a king until you are broke!
