My hospital bill was around 200,000 dollars I had united health care insurance but had 7,500 dollar deductible and 7,500 to 15,000 I had to pay 20% so I had to pay 10,500 for the year 2012 and 10,500 for 2013 plus medicine.   My condition now I am waiting on the final surgery when they took out My lower intestine they could not close my inter stomach and left a dissolve able mesh they are going back in April 2013 to remove my gallbladder and to fix my stomach muscles and close my stomach.   Is there anything that I can do to make me feel better?   Sincerely John Ruth
