> $1 million exceeds most deductibles
Most?? Most deductibles are under $5,500, you bet it exceeds it.
Did you mean policy limits? Those were made illegal recently (part of why healthcare costs went up so much).

Doesn't matter. Someone with this device will have so much medical monitoring the cost of a battery won't be noticed. A battery will cost less than a single Dr. visit probably.
- eximius 7y agoYou misunderstand me. You'll be able to afford the heart because your insurance will pay for it. A few years from now, you might not be able to afford that new $5,000 battery you need to RUN your heart. > Someone with this device will have so much medical monitoring the cost of a battery won't be noticed. A battery will cost less than a single Dr. visit probably. The same could be said about people with insulin pumps, yet we see financial problems kill them.
