$50k is vastly underestimating it. My grandfather just had a double bypass, a stent, and a pacemaker put in. (After his third heart attack.) The grand total for operation and post-op therapy came to $942,000. Granted, the surgery itself was only like $25k. It was all the stabilization in ICU beforehand, and all the therapy afterwards, that really ran up the bill. The majority of it was paid for by Medicare and his supplemental insurance too, which probably ran the price up as well.
