.... my wife had major surgery four weeks ago that required an overnight stay in the hospital ....


.... the bills have started arriving, and so far we've been over-billed by the surgeon, over-billed by the anesthesiologist, over-billed by the people who did the EKG, over-billed by the hospital, and Florida Blue fucked up their end of the deal ....


.... fortunately for us, my wife is an executive in the health insurance industry, so she spots these errors immediately ....


.... this morning, she spent three and a half hours straightening everything out ....


.... the average layperson, like myself, would probably not discover these errors and just pay through the nose ....


.... and, I can't find any reason the blame Obama for any of it.

lol
