Thank you for this and for sharing your knowledge.

I spent 10 YEARS as a young person in my twenties paying off an operation to remove a kidney stone, because I had no idea how the system worked and worked 2 jobs that didn't offer health insurance.

I am so sorry to hear that, Steph K! That is really a tragedy and must have been a huge setback for you. Sadly, young people don't get a lot of training about the perils of our health care system. Older people don't, either! I'm trying to change that by making health care financial literacy a focus of my work. Thank you for your comment and for sharing your story!

Never experienced the added value that Health Insurance Bodyguard gives. In the past, here is some coverage and then see ya'll. The Hohmanns and their team really take care of their clients.

Great article! Appreciate the information! It's all so true! Thank Heaven for people like you, Rob and Carmel! The health care system is massively broken! We are focused right now on fixing the mess! Health Care is too expensive, too complex and too restrictive! It's way past time for a change! It's time that people get the health care they want and need at a price that is affordable and makes sense! Thank you for all you do! Subscribing! Blessings and Grace!

I am in Florida and I think i know which hospital did this. I am fighting them on another blunder. They should have refunded me for a service, but only sent me partial refund. Then they said that they used the other part to cover another imaging service I had. They never told me that the refund was ready for me, until I called to ask, only then they sent me part of the money. They used the other part without my consent, they didn't even informed me. Now all the information on the patient portal, old statements and payment history has vanished. The last time this happened, they had sent my payment plan to collection, even though I had just paid one installment - it was auto-charge on my credit card. The time before that they sent a bill I had already paid to collection. This is the charity hospital/health insurance company/medical group/imaging center that has an almost monopoly of the market in Central Florida
