We're on the hook for US$11k out of pocket deductible out of a bill of US$35k, but got prompt treatment that was probably life saving. This puts me in another hated group, those who actually benefit from expensive treatments while more sensible preventative care goes unfunded. This entire scenario is an example of the effects of the Affordable Care Act as spouse would not have been likely eligible for insurance because the cardiac condition was pre-existing. The ACA is supposed to improve American health care and from my experience, it has. It remains to be seen if we'll be able to keep it.
Regarding obesity, Aractus had a thread some short time ago where he presented quite a lot of what appeared to me to be current and accurate.
