Mom's hospital icu stay was around a million dollar's.
Every doctor in that hospital found a reason to consult and get some money
Literally just walking by they charged.
I didn't have to pay medicare did though.
They couldn't do anything for her anymore.
We brought her home to my brother's until the end.
My daughters first 93 days of her life was in NICU. 1.3 million

Ambulance is one of the only things that isn't covered by our Provincial health care system. She has private insurance that will cover it and is one of those people that old doesn't mean poor. Dad did a real good job making sure mom wouldn't have to worry about money after he was gone, had a great pension that still pays her 80% of what he was getting. Right now I am glad that he didn't work for Sears like our neighbour growing up did...
I was talking about the taxi ride home. Good morning Gary.

Sadly that is the way the hospitals do it. Lots of controversy but so far the only change is in how the cabbies deal with the discharged patient. In the past they have sometimes dropped someone off at their house and moved on to their next fare. Now theubare required to make sure someone is home to receive them and make sure they get in to the house safely. This is a result of a couple cases of people being dropped off and stuck outside in freezing temps.
