Oh yeah. That is the truth too.
After I left telco, and my first year starting this business, I did not have insurance. I was coming off a decade of drinking, and having some serious heart issues where my heart would go into arrhythmia after a bender, and I would have to be cardioverted to get back on track. I went through that shit 13 times. However, the last time, I did not have insurance.
Long story short, a half day's stay in hospital and to be cardioverted was like $4000.00 or something. There were some couple of hundred things here and there, but it was in that ball park.
I dug out some of my old insurance records from the previous time(s). It was closer to $10k, for the same or less time doing the exact same procedure.
