They brought me back from the dead, how much is that worth? I'm glad you're well. How much would it be worth if you'd had to sell your house and/or declare ban

I'm glad you're well. How much would it be worth if you'd had to sell your house and/or declare bankruptcy, while knowing that similar-quality treatment was available for 1/20th the price in India and elsewhere?
Not just being snarky. Since leaving corporate America (and the healthcare plan) to start my own thing, I think about healthcare costs a lot. For starters, the lack of transparency or price-competitive marketplace, for such an expensive purchase, is mind-blowing.
- ctdonath 13y agoThe For Sale sign would have been up before I went into the OR with nary a second thought. Worst case, negotiate arrangements for $50/day for the next 10 years. Yes, health care costs a lot. Miracles are expensive.
- vacri 13y agoIt's not a miracle. It's impressive, but you're mischaracterising it.
