His son was billed for $20,000 of care s/p appendectomy, Edwin Leap thinks it was worth about 75% less:
But, something occurred to me about the bill. Let’s face it, Sam probably didn’t get $20,000 worth of care, medication and supplies. But what Sam did do is cover his surgery, and maybe three or four others. I can believe he received $5000 worth of care. It seems reasonable. So really, his surgery paid for his own care, and about $5000 worth of care for several others.
