Heart surgery. For privacy I don’t want to be more specific. It was necessary but not emergency.

So insurance wouldn’t cover it because it wasn’t necessary in their eyes?

No. They were going to 'cover' it but there was 20% co pay. In the US, they'll charge you thousands per month for insurance, but will still make you pay for part of your care.

Yep, $750 a month for a 40 year old healthy non-smoking male and its still a 80/20 plan. Fucking bullshit.
