I actually just tried to find the papers, but don't want to put much more time hunting them down :) I was able to find the lab bills though, those alone came out to around $3000. I stayed 7 nights in the hospital, got a ton of tests and received a shit load of medication. Not to mention this was in NY, which has notoriously high medical costs. Maybe 50K was an exaggeration, this was a while ago. But it was in the tens of thousands for sure. There may be discounts when paying in cash, I'm not sure. Either way, its worth the money for coverage. Even if you don't get the top of the line, get something, especially if you have a family and little kids. Go watch John Q if you arent convinced...
