I spent just over 3 months at that hospital. After the 2nd week I didn't get many visitors as no one wanted to pay for the parking, lol. I must have spent hundreds at the 2nd floor Timmies but the hospital stay didn't cost a cent of course.

Everyone jokes. But on a serious note, I had to have a spinal fusion right at the start of Covid. And I was there for 6 days including surgery. The insurance company sent me a bill for $84,000. After deductibles and all that, with my crappy plan, I still had a bill upwards of $10,000, plus what I pay weekly for my health insurance plan.

I would love to have paid only $12 a day for parking. This makes me want to cry. I will be paying off my surgery for years to come too. All to be able to live somewhat pain-free and be able to walk again. I guess it’s worth it in the long run. But short term, it sucks.
