I was in the hospital for 5 days due to a heart by pass surgery. The average cost per day was $15,000. The hospital bill was $82,000. I had no complications. I did not have a heart attack and we found it early. I would consider it your normal 2 artery bypass surgery. The $82,000 does not include the surgeon bill which was $12,000 which I think is a deal in comparison to the exorbitant cost of a hospital. If the government wants to curtail medical costs they/we need to learn how to curtail hospital costs. My hospital is the lowest rated hospital of the 3 in my city. Health care used to consist of giving your doctor a chicken for his services.....now we are obligated to give our house for health care services.
