The good news is that he may just do that. I told him to negotiate with his doctors and pharmacy directly to see how much this would all cost him if he paid out of pocket.
I went to the ER last year. It was hilarious, in a painful way, to see a two hour visit escalate into $200,000 and going! There is something radically wrong here.
He can join one of those Christian healthcare companies which teach you to negotiate with healthcare professionals.
What a world.
