The rollercoaster of healthcare in Florida. My latest bill came last week, the dreaded hospital costs. Not including the 5 doctors bills from people I don't even remember seeing, not including the ansthesia tech., and nevermind the "we can't do anything for you at this time" speech from the financial assisitance office. Single bill from hospital.....31,000+ dollars. All of this for 3 days, and them having me leave the hospital without enoughantibiotics to clear the infection I developed back in late July. I still have it until this day, luckily I was able to get some antibiotics for a seven day course (not from the hospital!). So the recent summary of events amounts to just over 35,000 dollars for 4 days worth of healthcare. July 22,23,24 equal 31,000, and September 17 equals 3,700 dollars. My issue is very disappointing, being turned down for Medicaid, told I shouldn't even bother applying for the county healthcare plan, and having 10 different "opinions" of why I should be able to get insurance.....nothing turns up, denied, denied, and denied again.
It has been tough trying to figure out which thing to try next. I am really out of medical options here, and they already scheduled me for the next procedure 2 months away from now. They say this procedure will be an ongoing thing. So, it is going to be very difficult to pay 3,700 dollars every 2 months, buy my medication for 550 dollars a month, and buy the foods necessary for my liver diet. I am reaching out to anyone that can help, it's that simple. If you know someone, who knows someone, that may know someone else that might be able to help, or if you can donate using my PayPal donation button, it will be much appreciated for sure. More updates to come soon. Thanks for reading.
