Hospital has basically put me into bankruptcy, and I had insurance. I have been having bad chest pains now of and on for about 5 years. Serious ones where I actually start sweating, my arms will go numb etc. During the "attacks" I'm out of breath just walking 20 feet.

So onto the hospital. Test after test, stress tests (3 of them) EKG's electro cardio grams 2 separate stays at the hospital one for 3 days one for a week. Total running bill over 200k covered by insurance, 15k... because I didn't talk with them on the first major attack (basically thinking it was a heart attack at 10pm) and I didn't get their doctors referral to goto the emergency room. (again at 10pm) WTF! so I'm spouse to call up my insurance company before going to ER? Tack on the surgery I had to have cause I was bleeding to death, (literally) and it was the same basic run around. Then to top it all off, they canceled my policy, and no other insurance will now take it due to it all being a "pre existing" condition. Great. Oh, and what have the doctors figured out after all this time and money? That I'm perfectly healthy and they can't find anything causing the problem. So, now I still have the issue, nothing has been diagnosed as to the problem by the doctors, yet the insurance companies can issue a pre existing condition on a non diagnosed problem? This system is so fucked up you want to scream.
