I forgot to say I also have the Medicare payment statements that show the normal charge and what Medicare pays.

Also, Medicaid negotiates with drug companies on prescription costs and gets a much lower rate. I have a printout from DrugMart of all my prescription real costs and Medicaid price, printed out courtesy of DrugMart.

I received Medicaid at the beginning of my mobility crisis, when I was in a wheelchair and waiting over two years formy Social Security Disability.

Actually, personal debt (ie crappy loans, credit cards, revolving debt) has now replaced medical bills as the #1 cause of bankruptcy. Just wanted to share that.

How many of those credit cards and loans are taken out to help cover medical costs?
