So last night I thought I was having a heart attach, chest pains and sweating bad. But we don't have great insurance, so I did not want to go to the er. I figured it would be cheaper to let him take me if it was my time. If they had to do emergency surgery or something and I lived, I would owe hundreds of thousands of dollars. I for sure don't want that. Never really though about this before this, wondering if others have. This sucks.

What they said
A couple of years ago there was an article in the paper hear that talked about the cost of a heart attack. You could go to Austin Heart Hospital and it was like 82,000$ for your basic heart attack. Now if you could make it over to Taylor,tx (@40 miles give or take from Austin) they would save your life for $18,000..... ;(. If your living on the ragged edge it's probably worth it to do some prep...

I can't believe I'm saying this because 5-6 years ago it would have been crazy.. but I can actually relate to this... this is not a political statement, but there are ALOT of people that have to think about that very thing now. For a ton of of folks it is truly a danged if you do, danged if you don't situation.
