Surprise Emergency Room Bill

Our daughter was medevac'd to Children's National in DC. The helicopter ride alone was $21,000, never mind the 5-day stay. Thank God for state of Maryland insurance or we'd be sunk. This was 11 years ago, I don't think we paid anything other than copays. This is how it should be for everyone.

Ella is now a happy, healthy, very bright 11 year-old (going on 30 :hihi: ) whose love is riding horses. To say we're grateful does not begin to scratch the surface. It was touch and go there for awhile.
I remember that - it was a scary enough time on the board just reading that - can’t even fathom what it was like for y’all then
Glad she’s good
